Re: Matt Matros article from Card Player: AK and Fold Equity
Not unless you're planning on losing your stack every time you hit an A or K. Remember, they'll hit the flop a lot less than you'll hit, so you don't even need to hit your AK to get a fold most of the time.

Re: Matt Matros article from Card Player: AK and Fold Equity
When they fold or push, it's pretty clear. But when they call, it isn't so clear to me. I guess my question is really what hands do they raise 4BB UTG with that they do not call the 12BB reraise with?
Thanks! M

You're not expecting a fold immediately, you're either 1) getting money in against a hand that you dominate or 2) building fold equity against a pocket pair hand by representing a higher pair.

Re: Matt Matros article from Card Player: AK and Fold Equity
OK, what flops and betting action do you love/hate after your 12BB reraise gets called?

Re: Matt Matros article from Card Player: AK and Fold Equity
Obviously any A/K flop helps. Flops like Qxx or Jxx are good. What you DONT want to see is a flop like 7 2 3, where a small pocket pair will likely play back at you.
As far as action goes -- I'm usually shutting down if any bet gets called.

Re: Matt Matros article from Card Player: AK and Fold Equity
After this size reraise, the pot is large enough that if you hit an A or a K and play it reasonably (i.e. bet 2/3 pot on the flop and get called), you'll wind up with a roughly stack-sized pot no matter what you do and your opponent is almost forced to play the pot the same way with pretty much any decent holding (including a set or decent draw). For my reasoning, see my post above.
If you're going to hit an A/K on the flop and just fold to anyone who calls your flop bet, why even bother playing the hand at all? M
