5/10 AKs hand

Jonny · #1 06-09-2005, 01:08 AM

Villain is 54/14/2.7, with 90 hands on him from datamining, no actual experience vs this player. I got burned for slowplaying the same type of hand yesterday, so I thought I would fast play these trips.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 6 handed) converter

Hero ($990)
BB ($493)
UTG ($1100.13)
MP ($343.34)
CO ($1277.75)
Button ($1736.87)

Preflop: Hero is SB with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Hero posts a blind of $5.
1 fold, MP calls $10, 1 fold, Button raises to $45, Hero (poster) calls $40, 1 fold, MP calls $35.

Flop: ($145) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero bets $40, MP folds, Button raises to $150, Hero calls $110.

Turn: ($445) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks intending to C/R all-in.

Thoughts?

Unless this guy is a bit of a donk, I think the weak lead/call is a bit obvious and given that the flop wasn't that draw heavy, I think he's going to have a tough time betting the turn with anything other than a K, in which case the money is probably getting in anyway.

This is no reason to play different from what you think is correct. Losing a hand yesterday should have no bearing on what you do today.
That being said, I would probably re-raise preflop. I don't like letting people keep raising and raising when I have a good hand. I'm going to punish their overly aggresive play.
I like your betting on the flop, although I think you have to bet a bit more. I tend to swing for the fences when I make a big hand, and if they fold, oh well. I would bet about $65 or so.
Once he raised the flop, he showed he likes his hand. Very few hands have a decent shot at beating you. If he has QJ, for an OESD, only the 9 gives him a winner. If he has a King, obviously you'll get all-in. I like checkraising all in.

whats he going to raise you on the turn with after you called his re-raise on the flop? the only things he might raise again with are another AK, or maybe KQ. Chances are he's going to check behind you and he gets a free river.

Jonny · #5 06-09-2005, 01:34 AM

well thats the thing, I put him on AK, KQ, or KJ (mabye). So I check the turn hoping he bets his king. Or is it better to lead the turn?

jaral · #6 06-09-2005, 01:38 AM

I lead the turn, hes probably not folding KQ, and you dont give QJ or a pocket pair a free river

Jonny · #7 06-09-2005, 01:41 AM

good point, leading turn is best now that I look at it.

Lead the turn, he could have a K or AA. I would not make it obvious either, pot it and see what happens.

Just be glad you pulled out some $$ with AK [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Actually what happened was that I checked the turn, he potted, I raised all-in, he instacalls with TT. Then I spiked my A on the river [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].
