Re: AKo UTG
Nope. If you are thinking about calling that bet, then you should have bet out on the turn after your opponent checked OTF.

Re: AKo UTG
I wouldn't call here...not to say there isn't a chance that you're best. When you check two streets like that you look really weak so he could bet out with anything.
Why not take a stab at the pot on the flop or the turn? If you bet the turn and he plays back at you its a pretty easy fold. Tough to put him on a range of hands not knowing anything about the stakes or the player. |

Re: AKo UTG
Congruent Bluffing hands
------------------------ AJ x 12 A10 x 12 AK x 9 Total = 33 Congruent real hands: --------------------- QQ x 3(its unlikely you have a J or 10 so its not too dangerous to slowplay) 99 x 3 88 x 3 10-J x 16 22 x 3 AA x 3 Total = 31 Its a close decision, the numbers suggest 1:1 on the bluff, for odds of 2:1 making it worthwhile, but you have to know the player is calpable of a pot bluff with a weak A high to call. If I thought the player was decent I'd call. |

Re: AKo UTG
I did think the player was decent, and I did call. I assumed he would bet out if he hit something on the flop, and bet on the turn if he was holding a pocket pair. The river deuce didn't help him, so I was pretty sure it was a bluff, and I called. He showed KJo for a bluff, MHIG.
BTW, does anyone think I should have bet at some point in this hand? When he called me, I figured him for a pocket pair or two Broadways, and I also assumed that if he didn't hit, he had a Broadway draw, so I was content to check/fold the flop and turn. In a multitable, I'd have bet out on the flop, but there is less margin for error in SNGs, so I felt it was best to check here... Please tell me if I'm in error, as I'm trying to learn more about SNG play. |

I'm not familiar with that and can't seem to figure out what it means. Thanks. |

Re: AKo UTG
You need to be right every other time to make this call; I'd want a pretty good read to do so. That said, I'd definitely have taken a stab at the pot earlier, maybe on the flop depending on my read and almost definitely on the turn.

Re: AKo UTG
it's the number of combinations of each hand.
For example, the AJ x 12 means 3 more Aces and 4 Jacks give 12 combinations of AJ. for the QQ x 3, there are 3 queens left, so 3 combinations. |

Re: AKo UTG
You cannot put him on this range of hands like that, because with his river bet it is much more likely that has some peice of the board. I think a call is pretty bad here.
