Aggressive AK 5/10

JMa · #1 09-10-2005, 10:06 PM

MP is extremely aggressive, i dont see him calling UTG's raise w/ anything else than a low pp. Hed repop it w/ TT+/87+. I have only been at the table a few orbits.

So I raise it to $160 and figure that will take it down. Well BB smooth calls, which tells me that he has AA/KK/QQ? Most players would move in here w/ aces though? MP calls and so does UTG.

Then a nice CB. Hows that?

I'm editing this because I feel like I should stress how bad this bet is. It's awful.

You take the free card? How do you play if you turn a non club A or K?

Every time.

PS. In this situation it really isn't close. At all.

As to how I play the turn, that depends on the action. If it's checked to me i'll go 1/2 pot and try and see a cheap showdown.

How would you play AA/KK here then? Most people will be hard pressed to call a huge bet despite the multiway action. As in I think they can only call with trips. Too many times I just grit my teeth, bear down, and charge full steam ahead. Chip spewing?

Not really. Clubs will play with you and KK-JJ if it's out. I go probably $450 on the flop and call a raise.

Although the stacks aren't that great, I like the bet here. I'd bet closer to pot though. You'll probably take it down most of the time I'd think... that is if your image is decent and your bet is large enough. [/drunk]

I dont bet this flop. You've reraised and had 3 callers. You're behind.

They all instafold. BB said he had KK, but i dont believe that. Anyway, I hoped that BB would fold to the flop bet b/c he had UTG and MP behing, and that UTG would fold b/c of MP. And MP's most likely holding was a small pocket, making this an impossible call.
