AK whiffs capped pf... - Page 2

Since you capped preflop, your hand looks like AA or KK to your opponents. You are less likely than normal to be check-raised here. Bet and hope to take a free card on the turn. If you are check-raised, you might want to 3-bet looking for that elusive free card. Your hand will just look huge at this point.

I think it's close though, checking isn't bad.

my 2 cents.

My first instinct was to bet, but that's wrong.

If the sb is a TAG, and three-bet a field from first position, he's got AA-QQ, or AK. Maybe JJ or AQ.

Gutshot is right. The MP's called two and then a cap preflop. If they hit something, they're not folding now.

Take the free-card and pray for a ten.

Put me in the check camp. I just don't see you getting a free card on the turn regardless of whether you bet or not. Instead, take the one free card offered to you and be prepared to fold the turn if you have to.

totally missed it.

I felt bad for posting this after I thought about it a second... a bet, I think, is terrible.

hero capped the sb's 3-bet pf, i don't think he's getting check/raised here all that often. and while yeah, it would suck, it's not the end of the world. i think it's worth a bet here in a 17sb pot to try and get a cheap look at the river, especially with the gutshot.
