AK flops TPTK. Big flop raise. I'm lost.

[brian94709]

Villain is 44/10/3 after only a few rotations.

I'm pretty much lost in this hand. Should I just fold TPTK on the flop? I think calling the raise and betting out the turn + folding to further aggression doesnt work because the pot gets too large..

I think you fold this to his TT... unless you've seen him do this with TP great kicker.

I don't see the point in calling the flop raise just to check/fold a blank turn with only 1/2 pot left in your stack.

I think you should either fold or reraise allin on the flop. Or get the money in on a blank turn. Then again I'm really tired right now.

I agree, my line was terrible. I should probably have folded to the huge bet.

It wasnt really huge, it was only a pot sized raise, in fact, it was less than pot size (pot is 14, 6 to call making 20, so to make a pot sized raise, he would make it 26 to play).

If you call the raise, call the turn (or even better, push the turn, in case he has diamonds).

After that weak turn bet I probably c/r this lag all in. He very well could be on the flush draw here.

Edit: With those stack sizes you are making a commitment decision here on the flop. You might as well open push your remaining 25 ish on the turn.

tough decision here... most of it is judgemental. Is your opponent a TAG? LAG? If its a TAG, I can't really see what your beating here. His play screams set.

[mudbuddha]

yeah, i call this hand down or push too often to some outrageous 2 pair flop or AT TT AA haha, i've come to the conclusion that a pair isnt that good when they come over the top hard.. unless u got a nice read.

Fold flop. It's tough, but it's correct too much of the time.

Edit: With stack sizes, I like pushing flop to get called by at best a flush draw. You shouldn't see a turn with chips. Folding is best though.

I dont see how you can call that flop raise and fold to that wimpy turn bet. Make a decision on the flop and follow through. The flop raise looks pretty standard, not big at all.
