Re: AKo against an ultra-tight UTG raise
Most all of my play is live, but I have gone MORE than 144 hands without seeing A-K,Q, or J and a pocketpair no higher than 6's. Well, my place deals a little slow but this was a 10 hour session so at least 230-280 hands.
I would not assume on 144 hands that he will only raise with hands you say. I would 3-bet this. If he has A's or K's , so be it. If he has AK, more likely, you can probably get him off the hand with position.And of course, a good run at other pp's mentioned)
I think not 3-betting here is weak-tight. I'm not criticizing, we all make weak-tight mistakes sometimes, I did it last night not protecting K's with A on flop. (should've raised the lead-out).
Sure, I would have lost the extra bet cause this guy will go to river to match kicker( he had J8 with 8 on board), but it was still a mistake. I think not 3-betting AK here is a mistake. IF he is as tight as you suspect and caps it, you should have pretty good idea where you stand.
