AKs - flopped flush draw

housenuts · #1 07-30-2005, 12:12 AM

This is 1:45 into a Stars $10+1 Rebuy
Blinds are going up to 200/400 ante 25 in under a minute.
Avg. is ~13,000 | Chip Leaders ~55,000

I've only played 1 orbit at this table.
I saw Villain do a check-raise already once and both opponents folded.
He also min-raised my big blind, and I raised it up and he folded.

so his min-raise tells me he's a bit of a donk, and I also gather he likes to check-raise. anyways...

It seems like its the best play. Your move has some FE in there in most cases, and when you DO get called, you have a lot of outs to make the nuts.

Its easy to say you should have been more passive, knowing the way the hand panned out, but I am pretty sure i would have played it the same way.

FWIW i play it the same. you have a monster hand. if he just has an overpair you are a coinflip to the river, you have great FE, etc.

Well played on every street IMO, you are only a significant dog to AA or KK and even then you have ample outs.
