Lip_Balm ?

i played this hand a bit diff than i normally do with ak, but overall i liked it.. so now, what do YOU do? do you think you are beat and fold? do you think you are beat and push anyway? do you push thinking yer ahead? or would you have played it so different up to this point it doesnt matter. i dont include an option to call cuz hes clearly committed anyway. stop an going the river (so to speak) shouldnt be an option. what do you do?????

[pokerlaw]

maybe my nose is oversensitive, but i smell aces something fierce. I fold [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

I call the flop bet and go from there, since the PF action and bet size is shady...though this line so far is definelty my second (and possibly better) choice.

[Matt R.]

I think he almost always has aces here. I fold.

[gumpzilla]

The limp weak reraise, followed by a weak flop bet and 3 bet when he's raised, really seems very likely to be AA. KK he could play this way too, here, but since that would mean he has the two case kings that's pretty unlikely. I'd be very surprised if he shows something worse than AK here - I don't think he's playing JJ, QQ or any other K this way. I think you can fold this.

EDIT: Given his preflop action, I probably prefer leading out to c/r'ing the flop, because I think you'll get out cheaper when you're raised. Your line does make a fold even clearer, though, so I don't dislike it.

[Shilly]

Any read on villain?

I think a decent player wouldn't open-limp in that late of position with AA or KK here, so any specific notes would be pretty helpful.

I think you might be seeing another AK here a lot of the time.

I push knowing Im behind, really.

PF: Villain didn't originally raise but reraised you. Either he saw you as punishing two limpers and wanted to take it right then or has a monster. Second option seems more probable.

Flop: K on the flop. You bet, you raise and he reraises you. He has to figure that you at least have the king. Another hint pointing to AA (maybe KK, but...). You could think that he could also have AK, but I think he's raising PF with that hand.

So I fold. Times you are behind are probably outweighting significantely the times you're splitting or the times he's pulling a major bluff on you. And with 1500 chips left you still in a good position.

[Newt_Buggs]

yuk

Its tough because there are so many donkeys on party poker and you're pretty far in now. This still looks like a fold though.

[nWirb]

I think he has aces here, I push anyway.

[silencee]

if the players in the $55s are anything like the ones in the $33s, i push and laugh when his KQ/KJ hits the three outer on the river.
