109: AK flop play

[The Yugoslavian]

Well, what you ideally want to do is get worse hands to give you all of their chips and to see a cheap showdown vs. better hands. Pushing is a very brute force way to at least allow the former to happen...unfortunately you end up always losing the maximum to better hands and not maximizing your chances of extracting chips from worse hands.

This pot has gotten v large and I'd just push here. However, someone like Unarmed likely would be able to call and extract more value from his opponent on the turn depending on what happens.

I would move allin here. Im not a huge fan of the "deceptive" flat calls in spots like this, when the pot is already quite signifigant. I play very bad and boring ABC poker though.

lol, what the heck? Someone PMed me to respond to this, didnt realize it was so old and that I'd already answered it [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Haha, wow no kidding.

I read the post and was like, I'd probably call here, and then I look at the first response which is me saying to fold.

Funny stuff.

no surprise from me, I'm calling here, and have no problem putting in the rest of my stack if need be. there's always another 109 starting.
