Default AKs, flop that dont fit.

How do I play AKs when the flop is something like 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ?

Do I fold? Call? Raise a better?
I raise preflop of course.

Default Re: AKs, flop that dont fit.

depends what position you are, how many people have called, where the bet came from etc. with your email it's a pretty drawless board, so a bet usually means a 9 or 5 probably. we certainly have outs to call the flop bet. however, we need to consider where it came from, etc. raising the flop may knock out a middle or bottom pair hand, which protects us against their 5outers if we do connect on the turn/river. Raising might also mean the turn is checked to us, and we can either bet again and try to get a fold (if there is but one or maybe 2 still in) or check and see the river.

basically, it's different for every situation. i dont think i'd ever fold a flop like this, even for 2 bets it'd be a close close decision.

Depends on loads of stuff... its probably better to specify your question a bit. Things to consider:

Position
Reads on your opponents
Pot size
Backdoor flush draw?
How many opponents

etc.

Sorry for being vague, not used to posting here and new to poker as well.

Middle position
No clear reads
POtsize is rather small since I raise and the players after me folds.
My hand is AK [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] so no flush draws
3 or 4 oponents

If you check the micro limit guidelines theres a link to bisonbison's hand converter that most folks here use for posting up specific hands. There's also a lot of other usefull stuff in that post.
