Re: Playing AK from Early Position

Re: Playing AK from Early Position
I did many more TTH simulations and I'm starting to think that limping with AKs from UTG is superior to raising while raising with AKo is superior.

Just for your information, there's a pretty good discussion of a few situations similar to this in HPFAP starting on page 139. Not exact, but well worth reading/re-reading.

Re: confused with QQ
I think you may be looking at either 2 other overpairs or an overpair and a nut flush draw. Neither player looks quite loose enough pre-flop to play A3s, A6s, 66, or 33 pre flop against a raise.

Re: AKo vs. a limper-reraiser
I'm going to have to think about this hand some more, but I think it is WAY more likely to see a limp re-raise with AA than it is with KK or AKs even though I have seen it with those other hands...

Re: Pocket TT
By the way, in the actual hand UTG had 45 /images/graemlins/spade.gif and completed the STR8 draw on the river to win the hand. MP1 had a pair of 99s.

Re: Pocket TT
I understand the thinking on the turn, but assuming there is any chance I am ahead, when I check the turn I am inviting a weaker pair to bet the river. Maybe that's not as applicable in this case....

Now he's playing 5-10. Not sure what's happening so far.
