Aggro AK

[BirdieLongSocks]

Hand from memory, table is a tight weak o.5/1 I have 150 and villian has me coverd.

Utg makes it 3, 1 call button raises to 6 SB calls and I look down at AKs and makes it 18 Button calls.

Flop comes A75 rainbow, I lead out for 40 and he calls, turn comes king and I go all in and he calls.

My preflop thinking was that neither of them had AA or KK with the small reraise.

Is it good?

Hmm, I dunno, a small RR often means AA or KK. Its a play bad players love because its stops thm 'wasting' their AK. In fact unless he's truely woefull I can't see any cards he'd make this play with apart from AA. A lower PP should fold on the flop which would rule out a set of Kings. PP 7s and 5s would not be reraising PF most of the time. Likewise A7 and A5. I spose you cold be up against another AK.

The only hand I can see you beating is AQ but that would be awful play from him. Hope you won.

[BirdieLongSocks]

I forgot to mention that AA and KK will likly move in on my reraise preflop. That was the way I felt it.

[The_Bends]

Well if you rule out AA and KK then you're crushing a lower 2pair or weak Ace. If he has 77 then fair play you'll have to give him the money for disguising his hand.

[BirdieLongSocks]

main question is that is this winning play counting in the few times they trick play AA KK?

[emil3000]

Geez, a third raise with AK out of position is pretty dreadful if you ask me. I am not sure why you don't think he has AA or KK, I would play AA like this often, with the exception of the minraise.

[The_Bends]

Good point, especially if the table is playing weak tight.

[swedeD]

If he is tight weak, he have AK or AA, a little chans he have like AQs playing position and then he is having a hard time to fold TP good kicker.

Well, I for one, think a call would be MUCH worse.

A muck isnt even as bad as a flat call imho.

[-Skeme-]

After a raise and a re-raise, you put in another raise with AK OOP?

[zaxx19]

It depends....I certainly prefer it to just calling OOP and playing it from there OOP and having absolutely no idea what Im up against. Calling is the WORST option IMHO.

Caveat: I do play my AKs alot more aggressively than many 2+2'ers reraising very often.

You forgot to mention that, even though the table might be weak-tight, your villain was unbelievably loose and stupid.

[The_Bends]

Well there you go, note for the future move on.

[BirdieLongSocks]

I felt like I was up against QQ JJ or something like that preflop and I pretty much knew I was ahead on the flop
, but as you say it went against the image and that botherd me.

[emil3000]

I think given the descriptions a fold might be the best move of all. AQ isn't likely and you SHOULDN'T get any action if you flop a higher pair.
