AKs in early position...
Hi,
This hand happenned a few days ago, and I've been thinking about it on and off, so I thought I'd post it here. Obviously, I think I played it wrong, but I'd like to hear how the experts play it differently. It's a $50 NL table (50 cent big blind, 25 cent small blind). I bought in for $30 and posted in the cut-off. Table is 10-handed and there hasn't been too much action the first 5-6 hands. I have no reads or stats on anybody here. A few hands after I posted, I'm UTG, and get Ad Kd. I raise to $2. A player in middle position calls, and everyone else folds. This player has about $18 left. The flop comes Kh 5d 4c. I bet $5. He raises to $10, leaving him $8 more. I liked the situation enough that I was definitely going to call. But since he only has $8 left, I figured I'd call a bet with pretty much any turn card that showed up, so I pushed. What do you guys do? Thanks! |

there is no other right play other than to put him AI.

Okay, glad to hear you say that. But, is my PF raise in early position bad? Is my flop bet too big? I should be worried about draws, so maybe a half-pot-size-bet is more suitable?
Thanks. |

[/ QUOTE ] you can't be scared to raise with premium hands OOP. you made a potsized bet on the flop which is fine. if you made a smaller bet, then you would be inviting the villian to draw against you. |

I can't see any possible way that the money doesn't go allin here besides you both checking it down.
PS buy in for $50 |

And when he turns over 44, I just smile, right? (And hope for the runner runner flush!)
