Re: AKo vs. the mighty 3-bet.
 

Given the stats you gave, I would *strongly* suspect MP1 for 99 after cold-calling 3 and 3-betting the flop. He could possibly have had AQs or AK though. So for sure no more raising, especially if another A falls since that makes it even more likely that MP1 had 99. Call down is probably right because of the standard 5% random flop 3-bettor bull[censored] factor, combined with the fact that he could have AQs or another AK.

Hi NobodysFreak,

I realize you are still learning, so I don't want to be harsh. However, your grunch is just no good!

Re: AKo vs. the mighty 3-bet.
 

If you were playing against someone who you knew was very good, he would have 99 here >99% of the time. So you would dump your AK and know that you are drawing dead despite the size of the pot.

UTG checks, Hero checks, MP1 bets, UTG raises, Hero folds...


I guess, I should have capped the flop and bet the turn(?) I think I am beat after UTG CR's the turn. I thought 99 or AJ were likely.

Thoughts?

Re: RESULTS
 

I'm 23/1.3 and I would re-raise and cap with 99, AQ+ and cold call with 55. I'm also not good enough to let go of tp/tk but am passive enough to call down to the river.

Re: AKo vs. the mighty 3-bet.
 

Im not folding the flop.

Capping the flop and betting the turn would've helped you how? You would've wasted more money while behind.

As for the turn, you're obviously behind. Best case scenario you have 3 outs. You're not getting close to 14 to 1. This is a no brainer fold.

Good hand, you played it well the whole way.

What is MP1's range here? I'm guessing AA/99/55/AQ+ so I'd calldown.

Re: RESULTS
 

this is the only way to play this hand unless you have reads that both players are over-arrgo spazztards.
