View Full Version : Continue AK into horrible flop lvl 2?

Blinds are 15/30.

I have A /images/graemlins/spade.gif K /images/graemlins/club.gif in BB with 780 chips. CO 2x's it making it 60, folded to me, I make it 250 he calls.

Flop comes T /images/graemlins/heart.gif 9 /images/graemlins/heart.gif 8 /images/graemlins/spade.gif.

He has been loose agressive thus far and a check from me here will almost certainly result in him pushing w/ any two cards.

So the pot is about 500 and I have about 500 chips left. Do you follow through, or was his call followed by about the worst flop imaginable enough to scare you from betting? I assume the reraise vs a late position 2x was ok?

edit: this was a $30+3 if that makes any difference.

I make it 180 rather than 250 if I reraise, I probably don't reraise in the first place and I almost definitely check/fold now.

(Why a reraise this big is bad: You are putting up 190 to win 105 PF, and when you are called you are in deep trouble on 2/3 of flops because when you are called and miss he almost always has the best hand.)

I agree with 180, its probably better not to get too committed to the pot. I was looking to play a big pot with this guy though and I guess that led me to the mistake of throwing too many chips at him.

I would just call here, but I like pushing better than a 200+ chip reraise.
