Why I don\'t like AK
Ok, AK sooted looks so nice and I win a lot with it...however, what can i do when situations like this happen? Did i play it correctly...I think i probably should have bet a little stronger on the turn (1/2 pot?) and then fold to raise?
No real reads on villain, he just sat recently but seems a bit tricky.

Re: Why I don\'t like AK
The thing about min-raises is IMO - they are too small in general to be a possible bluff so when you see one it usualy represents the bettor trying to build a pot with a strong made hand.
His likely holdings are KK AA 77 maybe 33. AK is an outside chance for a tie. I fold to the flop raise. I also check/fold the turn if I had decided to call on the flop. Dont go bust with TPTK! |

Re: Why I don\'t like AK
Why? What do you think villain is min-raising with that hero beats?
I just wondered what your reasoning for this line would be? |

Re: Why I don\'t like AK
Wow you were quick to respond - so ignore my other post!
Is a BD flush draw really worth the call? I never give any consideration to weak draws in this spot. That may be my mistake. |

Re: Why I don\'t like AK
Its possible he could have hit the King too. Maybe he has KQ or AK but if he has KQ he has now hit 2 pair and AK you only tie but i very much doubt you are ahead given the way the betting has gone so folding is the right play
I dont think i would have bet the turn though |

Re: Why I don\'t like AK
I think Hero lost the minimum (except folding to the flopraise) the times he is beat. If villian for example has the [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]-draw he most likely will just call the $30 on the turn.

[/ QUOTE ] Already answer the other post [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] , hopes it's OK. I don't know actually but that's the feeling I got for this hand because of stacksizes etc. |

Re: Why I don\'t like AK
BDFD...mmmmmmmmmm
that's mainly the reason I called the flop, however, (opponent-dependant), you guys don't usually call this flop raise? I think that at least 25% of the time opponent has a AK/worse K, lower pp and is getting tricky, flush draw, air...usually leading the turn after calling a flop raise will shut down most of these hands that AK is beating (not KQ in this situation which i think is very possible for villain) but i think folding this flop is extremely weak/tight |
