Party 3/6: Chasing with AKo in a hugh pot....

[chesspain]

Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (10 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

MP2 is a horrible player who plays nearly 100% of his hands and plays passively post-flop, except for the occasional river bluff raise and calldown with hands like 8-high. No read on MP3. Button appears to be an O.K./average player.

Preflop: chesspain is BB with K/images/graemlins/club.gif, A/images/graemlins/heart.gif.

1. Is my flop call bad?
2. Is the turn checkraise a bit too much?...I was hoping to fold out another AK.

seems routine.

I think the only way the flop call is marginal is if you expect button to have aces more than 96% of the time, AND he has the A /images/graemlins/club.gif.

I like the turn checkraise. It seems like raising the turn is a play that has filtered down to even the mediocre players, as i am seeing it more, and buttons response to it will be usefull. Also, you now have a decent chance of winning this decently-sized pot, and getting the other player to fold is never a bad thing.


river. Easy bet, but i prefer to river the A /images/graemlins/club.gif in these situations.

You flop call is fine. You turn raise is also fine if you are sure it will give you a better shot at the pot with a river bluff bet heads up versus the button.

You hit your hand, nice.
