Played this hand recently, the villain is pretty tight/aggressive and is playing like a robot. If he got something he bets or he folds.

My question his, how would I get the most value out of my hand in this spot? How would you played it?

He's like 15/12.

You posted that hand also where you hit a top set with your kings right..?

The thing is that in 2NL people are generally really loose. They will put money in with a worse hand. That's why you should just concentrate on value betting when you have a hand, like this AKo. If you bet and the villain insta folds there isn't really anything that you could've done better.

Well okay, you could bet a bit bigger 'cause, like I said, people usually pays you off. Yeah, and always have a full stack.

Getting value is as simple as value betting.. plain and simple. Especially at 2NL. No need to be fancy or tricky.

So here we bet for value until shown otherwise that we have to rethink our relative hand strength. Make it bigger on this board texture also, like .45 - .50, if the board were like A73 rainbow, betting around 1/2 pot is fine.

The other guys are right. The only mistake you've made here is not having a full stack.
(EDIT: and yeah more like .45c bet)


But as far as the guy folding goes, yeah that's annoying, but it should point you to something else you should be doing... IE betting in spots where they'll fold a lot but you DON'T have top set or TPTK.

You can't get max value without a max stack.

Other than that this looks ok. With your stack size I don't mind betting 1/2 pot on the flop.

Oh yeah, that's a reasonable point...
