The pre-flop 3-bet SUCKS.

Re: Watch Waxie Move Up
 

Why? I want to end the hand right there. have you ever played AK OOP? It sucks when the flop looks like that.

If he 4-bets, I'm gone.

Because without a read, he has a pretty narrow handrange or QQ/KK/AA/AK, and with the possible exception of AK, none of those are folding to a 3-bet.

Re: Watch Waxie Move Up
 

I think he'll re-raise with a hand range that is wider than that at 25NL and the call of the 3-bet elimates AA/KK, IMO.

Re: Watch Waxie Move Up
 

If you want to end the hand preflop you need to raise it more than $2.75 more.

Re: Watch Waxie Move Up
 

Actually, I want to end it by folding if he re-raises and I want him to just call if he has a hand &lt; AA-KK. If an A or K falls on the flop, I am usually ahead. I think villian grossley misplayed his hand and wouldn't have had the opporunity if I hadn't offered a lot of chances for him to make mistakes.

Re: Watch Waxie Move Up
 

Don't 3 bet AK unless guy is a LAG/maniac, and if you do make a real raise PF. Not getting away from that hand on the flop.

Some players will smooth call your 3bet. Why not end it when you miss on the flop, instead of folding before you get a cheap chance to outflop JJ-KK and any other random [censored] he has?

He called a PSB, he isn't scared of your ace. I think he either stacked you with his FH or you split with trip aces K kicker.

Also, by 3betting preflop, you are probably committing your stack if you hit with TPTK. Not necessarily a good thing.

You aren't just playing it OOP, you're building a pot OOP! Now you got your stack in without any helpful information at all.
