TPTK meets resistance

[kross]

SB is LA preflop, somewhat neutral postflop, 54%/20%/1.3, after about 80 hands
UTG is a 2+2er, 22%/13%/2.4

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with K/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/club.gif.
UTG calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Button calls, <font color="#CC3333">SB 3-bets</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG calls, Hero calls, Button calls.

Normally I would cap here with position on the loose reraiser, but I was feeling gunshy after AK letting me down many times in a row.

Flop: (13 SB) 2/images/graemlins/club.gif, A/images/graemlins/spade.gif, Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, UTG calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, Button folds, <font color="#CC3333">SB 3-bets</font>, UTG calls, Hero calls.

Cap here? Given the strenth I've shown, he doesn't seem to be afraid of the ace. I switch into calldown mode. Weak?

Turn: (11 BB) 5/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, UTG calls, Hero calls.

River: (14 BB) Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, UTG folds, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 16 BB

Thanks for all comments!

Against an unknown I tend to check call as well. 3 handed drawless board, I don't see much value in doing more. I personally might spike that river HU just because the AQ likelyhood is way less. I think you're going to see a chop a lot here too.

Edit: Considering the opponents VPIP, I think him having KK-TT isn't outrageous either...

i might cap the flop and try and get a sheap showdown D:?
and if he leads out on turn you should probably muck.

I think you played it fine (UTG's dead money i think makes it right to call down) but if he is a TA or something you are at best drawing to a split. So its def. close

I normally cap AKo preflop in this situation.

I would probably cap the flop and call down if SB bets out again. If it were heads up I'd think differently.

Chief gives good advice.

PF and flop cap here.

This is never good reasoning. Fight the tilt brother, fight the tilt.
