AKs makes TP but lots of flop action

[RustyCJ]

no reads, 2nd rotation here.

with the flop action I really thought I was up against KQ here.

should I check this turn? fold to that turn raise?

I don't think you can fold anywhere else but the river. You still have outs against a possible 2-pair and you are good here more than once every 17 times

I agree.

up until the river action you can still justify it. One guy could have KJ or AQ or JT while the other guy has a flush-draw.
But when they are going crazy on the river and you are facing 2-cold I think you have to let it go.


It looks like you played it fine as best I can determine.

man, i keep thinking about folding to BB bets as it's just bizarre for him to wake up there but don't know if I could actually do it getting those odds and recognizing that the rest of the river action is influencing my thoughts right now

but yeah, you can't call those other two bets for sure, nor can you fold any earlier

Is a cap standard on this flop? I feel like a 3-bet vs an unknown means we're behind most of the time.

[MicroBob]

BB could have anything (and looking at the river I wonder if he actually had 86).
Button's 3-bet could just mean he has hearts or JT.

I'm not sure this is enough to go ahead and cap the flop...but I somehow suspect that guys like Oreo and Schneids would say 'cap it up brutha!!'

Still...that doesn't mean that that is what I should be doing do to their advanced skill-level at this stuff.


I would probably be okay with just calling the 3rd bet on the flop here instead of capping...and think that the decision is probably reasonably close.
