When to fold AKs.
Here is an example of how I play AKs when it misses.
Button is 21/1.3/0.6 Ultimate Bet 0.50/1 Hold'em (10 handed) converter Preflop: Hero is UTG+2 with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP2 calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Button calls, SB calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>. Flop: (9 SB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font> SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP2 folds, Button calls, SB folds. Turn: (5.50 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets</font>, Hero folds. Final Pot: 6.50 BB I was wondering about my check on the turn. Mabye another bet here is a better move? |

Re: When to fold AKs.
Only bet the turn if you think there's a decent chance he'll fold to it. Heads up I'd probably fire again unless I knew he was a very loose calling station type, but that's the last money I'm putting in.

[/ QUOTE ] I'd be more willing to bet if he was a loose calling station since we probably have the best hand. |

Re: When to fold AKs.
I would bet the turn.
If there were more than two opponents I would have to put someone on duce, seven or pp. But against one opponent I would keep the presure on. If I'm raised I'm out. You are getting 5.5 to 1 on a semibluff to a pair that probably would hold up. remember that if the board two-pair an ace may win or tie so a 7 or Q could cut your losses if the bluff fail. If I got called and dont hit anything on the river I probably just check/fold the river. Since there is no real draws here you got to give the caller credit for something but a fold would depend on my read. |
