Would a flop re-raise be awful here? Because I would be considering that play myself...

It certainly would not, but would an AQ/AJ (which he could easily have given his play up to that point) lead the turn if I 3bet? I think my little stop short gains me the extra half a bet.

That's a really good point. The more I look at it, the more I like the stop and go. Well played hand.

That's a fine scare card for him to pull a last-ditch bluff on. NH.

Seems like everyone's okay with the line here. I like it as well, both from mine and villain's point of view. We both get our opponent to put as many bets in with what we both believe to be the best hand. There's really no hand I'm afraid of during this exchange (A6/A5s don't raise preflop probably, nor 66/55), so my sole intent was profit. Villain played it back at me like a champ. He showed A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and MHI-d'oh!

That's kind of what I was eluding to... If it's capped after you 3-bet the river, does that mean you're beat?

What about getting it all-in, and going 45 bets on the river, then folding to the 46th bet? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Yeah, during the hand I became rather impressed by his play, so much so that if I 3bet the river and he raises, there's zero chance I'm winning the hand yet pay off out of respect.

Why is A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] totally out? I mean, we already put him on AK. Indeed he showed the clubs. Would he be capping the turn for value with the draw? What am I missing? This is the stuff I'm new at.

I'm sure he'd be trying to jam every street if he had AK [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

He should be in WA/WB mode, IMO.

I don't think its out, but I think he'd play any AK this way. It's less likely from a sheer probability standpoint as there are 6 remaining combos of AK and only one is suited clubs.
