44 button party 50

[DeathDonkey]

Hi Jeff,

My experience at 10/20 6m is that AK will frequently take precisely this line, as it is a combination value bluff play of sorts. AK is frequently ahead on that board but also would prefer to take down the pot, and sometimes getting a pair to fold is just icing on the cake. I guess I think we are much more likely ahead then the other respondents, but I have not played this (apparently well known) opponent either.

A good player who has played a lot of mid limit 6 max should know any piece of that board is probably not folding to a turn checkraise. That's why WHEN HE ACTUALLY CHECKRAISES, it is more likely to be a stronger holding that he wants action on. I'm not saying this is all the time or all players, but it's something I observed. But when he's raised on the flop, he may checkraise the turn...checkraising after he is flat called on the flop is scarier to me if I'm in hero's shoes.

seems like people like raising the flop a lot here. i rarely raise the flop in position.

do you think i have enough equity to raise a non-A or nonK turn if I flat call the flop? thats generally my standard line, but i usually play shorter handed.

there is little chance kuka is playing AK like this and this checkraise represents real strength, generally.

With a small pocket pair in a HU situation I also rarely raise the flop, With this kind of hand I like to see four cards before I decide what to do rather than 3. If I'm out of position I will check and call the flop and then decide what to do on the turn(usually its between betting out or checking and calling again), When I have position I will smooth call most of the time and again make my decision on the turn between calling again or raising.
