Yah, I hate calling here since you are out of position and only hit the flop 33% of the time.

Re: Finally figured out AK in early rounds....
I just did this at an 11, and villain flipped QK. I was esctatic, but there was a Q on the flop. Should I not be doing this at the lower limits or is that just a bad beat?

Re: Finally figured out AK in early rounds....
haha...I'm actually not sure. At this level I get called with such a wide range of hands I wondered if it was right to risk it all so early. That the outcome is a bad beat, I understand. I was wondering if the number of times I get called by a dominated hand outweighs the chance I get called by a pair or another hand that I'm pretty even against.

I think it's fine as mostly you will end up either in a race or with a hand that massively dominates whatever the idiots call with, and the ratio is pretty much 50:50. This makes it a massively +EV play.

Re: Finally figured out AK in early rounds....
Yeah, this is a pretty standard play for me at the lower limits. It will cost too much of your stack to just call and see a flop, plus you are out of position. If you push, you will probably pick up a nice size pot right away. Even when you are called, you are a big favorite against the range of hands these donks will call with.

Not a bad play but I hate getting called by TT or JJ or QQ this early.

I'll know that I am a coinflip, and that I had at least some fold equity, which makes it a +EV play in the hand. And I can deal with making +EV plays all day. I hate getting called by KK or AA though. Those donks just won't lay those hands down. |
