AK flops top pair

Nightbrace · #1 10-21-2005, 07:23 PM

Button stats are 31,29,2 after a decent sample of 105 hands. Am I to fear this flop or turn?

Comments on all streets appreciated.

check/raise this turn:

if he 3-bets call and check-call the river
if he calls bet the river

you're worried about AA, KK, K9 and 99 - AA/KK/99 probably cap preflop

I'm tempted to c/r-cap the turn - but I fear that's too aggressive

but all and all not too bad?

it was SWEET until you just called the turn raise.

edit: along the same lines as this, your river bet is weird. if you didn't want to 3-bet the turn, you should just check call the river.

I'm worried about two pair really, or a set with that board.

ok, should I raise?

Then why do you keep betting out?

my line would probably be bet/call, check/raise/call, check/call against an unknown

if he's super aggressive I probably bet/call, bet/3-bet, bet

in my opinion, if you just call the flop you should either bet/3-bet, or check/raise, not bet/call

for value on the river since he may be on a flush draw.

Scott, I dont understand why you are stop and go'ing this hand. He was unlikely to take a free card on this board. You either 3-bet the flop or call and c/r the turn. You played this hand like a donkey.
