AKs vs PF reraise and funny flop bet

ginko · #1 03-23-2005, 05:06 AM

$2BB. Opponent is UTG+1 with $150, no read. I'm CO with AKs and $100. Limped to me and I make it $8. Opponent reraises to $30. I think and call.

Flop comes 248 one of my suit. Opponent bets $8. I call.
Turn brings the 10 of my suit. Opponent bets $14. I call.

River is a blank. At this point I'm really confused, not sure if he has something like AK/AQ/AJ or a medium pair. Opponent bets $20, I think and call.

What hand does he have?

I don't know exactly but 99/100 its a hand that beats yours.

Preflop I'm pushing or folding mattering on my read. But generally speaking a limp RR means a good hand, if he's nutty it could mean QJs or 22 but I don't know if this guy is nutty. I'm not flat calling a huge limp re-raise with AK.

With that weak flop bet? Reraise to 30 and then bet 8?

PF I was debating pushing or calling, and decided to fold if no A/K hit. BUT, he bet a funky 8 which I had to call because I had the A/K+backdoor flush draws.

I mean, how can I fold a $65 pot to $8?

He turned over A10. He hit the turn. At least my read wasn't to far off...

Yes, I agree. You can't fold the flop because you got 2 overs + backdoor. You can't fold the turn for flop reasons. However, your opponent knows this as well. Against a player with which you have no reads on who limped RR'ed you pretty big and is leading into you on all streets albeit weirdish bets, you're beat over 90% of the time I say, tie 5%, and win the other 5%.

You really think he has a hand equal to or less than AK here?

More important question is if you DID put him a hand you can beat on all streets, you should've raised the turn and don't let him catch one of his outs on you so cheap when the pot is big enough to take down w/ no showdown.
