Blah, this idea sucks IMO.

Why, do you think it's impossible villain has AK or AQ suited, and remember on the turn we do not know that villain is also going to bet the river.

Re: How not to Play AK?
 

Hand 1---I agree with you fold the river
Hand 2--- Gotta bet the turn, and if not bet the river
Hand 3---Fold on the flop
Hand 4---looks good

Re: How not to Play AK?
 

Grunch.

Hand 1: maybe fold the flop.

Hand 2: With BB donking along for the ride, I probably bet the turn and certainly bet the river and call one back.

Hand 3: That is a giant pot. Call down and expect to lose.

Hand 4: Raise the turn.

Edited b/c I missed the FD on hand 1. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Re: How not to Play AK?
 

I think:

Hand #1 - fold river

Hand #2 - checking the turn is not too bad for reasons I expressed, but bet river.

Hand #3 - folding flop may be correct because my outs were so suspect. JJ and I'm dead and another AK is a split.

Hand #4 - Raise the turn

If UTG+1 has A/A, J/J or a 4 you're boned, but if he has Q/Q or K/K you're pwning him.[ QUOTE ]


This may be dumb but what does pwn mean? I've seen it alot.

Villain caps OOP and leads the undercard flop. One of your scenarios we're winning, the other we split and the other about 85% of the time we're dominated. If you're going to play back, I'd rather do it on the flop. Waiting til the turn sucks.

Grunch.

So many hands....

Hand 1

Raise the turn. He may think you've already caught the flush and only call. If he 3-bets, call and fold with that river.

Hand 2

Bet the turn.

Hand 3

Either 3-bet the flop, or fold. Cold-calling two with the initial raiser behind you is too weak.

I call down when the Ace hits also.

Hand 4

You have to raise that turn. You have TPTK and a nut flush draw. If the donkbetter re-raises, and the other two trapped call 2, then I'd probably call down.

Geez, this is the second suggestion to raise the turn. Since when do we raise on the turn when we don't have an equity edge?
