Default Re: How many barrels do you fire into a pot with missed AK?

Good thread, as this exact situation seems to be the one that is dwindling my stack constantly.

I NEED to start checking the turn in these types of situations. It really should be that you have a specific read on your opponent to fire another one, and that's hard to do here.

Continuation bets work sometimes I guess, but lately it seems as if they are killing me. But what I noticed lately is that if I have AA in that situation, I check the flop to induce a bet and I slowplay. Continuation bets I think are only effective if you play AK the same way on a flop of A-7-5 as you would a flop of 6-Q-T.

Or is this statement of mine incorrect? I have lost so many chips and dollars in cash games lately with A-K's that miss flops.

Brad
