Re: Go ahead and re-raise this flop?
Preflop: I would raise. I don't think "slowplaying" AK preflop is generally a good play.
Flop: I would 3-bet. There are 13 SB in pot when it comes to you, and your 3 opponents will likely call one more bet. It may reduce the number of bets you can get on the turn, but it is now going to be a big pot that you should focus on winning by thinning potential FH draws. Turn: Having called on the flop, I like the check-raise. River: Good. |

Yeah reraise the flop and celebrate the winfall by making yourself a mojito. Rinse and repeat.

I three bet the flop and checkraise the turn. Nothing screams A HIGH FLUSH DRAW like a flop 3 bet and then a turn check.

I like it. You're giving up a little to potentially gain a lot. You have the nut flush already, so another diamond falling isn't going to hurt. If you had a lesser flush, I would definitely say push it on the flop. [/ QUOTE ] Another diamond will hurt significantly! The board will be 4-flushed and the A, K, and Q will all be accounted for. Bets need to go in now before your action is killed. Make lower diamonds draw dead for a hefty price. |

[/ QUOTE ] Yes, that was my sole reason for only calling on the flop - to go for the c/r on the turn and trap for 2 BB. I realize the lack of a pre-flop raise is a mistake. Realize that I wouldn't typically (something like 90% of the time) make this play. Is just calling with AKs ~10% of the time too much? |

[/ QUOTE ] I guess my problem with "slowplaying" AK is that you don't have a made hand yet. You have a drawing hand. Thus, there's really nothing to "slowplay" yet. Maybe I'm wrong about that, I don't know. My thinking is that it is a good idea, for deception, to slowplay a certain percentage of very strong made hands -- 10% sounds good to me. |

[/ QUOTE ] That means 10% of the time, you're giving up a lot of money. I don't like it. Throwing in the factors such as your position, the hand context (raising like a maniac right now), the two people already in the pot, I think you're giving up a lot of money by not raising this preflop 100% of the time. If you never limped AKs, you're not making any huge mistakes. |
