    I'd start by making it bigger pre flop. Not only are we out of position but we are way ahead of his limping range so want to push our pre flop edge hard. I'd be looking to make it at least 50c.

    Flop standard

    Turn why are you check/raising? Are you trying to turn your strong hand in to a bluff? Seriously, no need for FPS (Fancy Play Syndrome) at 10nl, just value bet and make maney. Your 2nd barrel will get called by the naked as well as KQ/KJ type hands. Check/raising on the other hand folds out most of the hands that are behind and only keeps in those that have you beat. If you were to bluff here (Which I'm not recommending with AK) you need to bet bigger to increase your fold equity.

    River as played I check/fold.
    1) He never value bets worse when checked to
    2) He rarely bluffs given that we look like we have a bluffcatcher
    3) He very rarely calls with worse
    4) It's unlikely he folds any better hands

    Given this is NL10...

    PF - raise to 0.50

    Flop - Fine as played, but if we had raised to 0.50, I'm betting around 0.75-0.80

    Turn - b/f - Don't let someone with a single spade have a free card to beat you.

    River - If I had a read that this guy overplays TP, I'm betting on the river. Otherwise, betting is -ev.

    If you IM me looking for money or a trade, you will be blocked.
