Default Re: Too passive with AK?

I like the check on the flop. You dont have anything, and are unlikely to fold out a person with any piece of this. Also you will not want to get c/r by a queen.

Turn is a good. I dont think I want to cap the turn here. This is because there is so much paint out there.

River? Well... depends on reads I think. How many hand would he play this way?

You need to be ahead 66% of the time to make a raise correct (unless you can fold to a 3-bet, I cant ).

So something like

AQ - 6
QJ - 6
QT - 6
KQ - 6

So you are 50/50 here. So Raising has a negative expection.

EV = .50 (1 bet) + .50 (-2 bets) = -.5

I believe that is correct. Of course, someone might disagree with my hand range evaluation (or I screwed up the math [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] )

Given no read on my opponent, I think that hand range is fair. He has to call 1 bet out of the BB. He then checks the flop, but 3 bets the turn.

I would expect him to 3 bet AK here, so thats why I discluded it.
