*Official* Big Slick Thread
Okay, here's the idea. I'm a little confused on playing AK and I'm sure many others are too. So, this thread will (hopefully) consist of multiple AK hands, and comments on them.
To post a new hand, re-title your post "(Your name) #(number)". For example, my third hand posted in this thread would be "Jman28 #3". Please post some of your thoughts with the hand, and then we can all critique the hands together. Make sure that you reply to the correct post when giving your thoughts. This may get really confusing, or it may evolve into a discussion on AK or maybe no one will respond. Worth a shot though, right? I'll start it off below. |

Jman28 #1
This is a $100+9 hand. I had no reads on the villian.
I'm most concerned with my turn check. I think that my river call is almost automatic after it. I always am afraid to get involved with a big pot when a 3-flush hits. Comments on all streets welcome.

I'm most concerned with my turn check. [/ QUOTE ] Yep, that's the question. I bet that turn most of the time when I don't have a flush card in my hand. I would be more likely to check if I had one. Coming from a limit background, I have a strong aversion to not betting a scare card like this. [ QUOTE ] I think that my river call is almost automatic after it. [/ QUOTE ] Definitely. If I check that turn, I pretty much plan on calling any bet. |

Re: Jman28 #1
I prefer an overbet on that flop. 375 or so. I do not want clubs in there.

Re: Jman28 #1
I think T95 is too big a raise with no limpers at Level 1. You are setting yourself up for difficulties later in the hand.
EDIT: Oops, wrong place this topic is already discussed in detail below. |

Final Pot: t500 [/ QUOTE ] With multiple hands in one thread, this is going to get very confusing, very fast. I wouldn't raise quite so much pre-flop. Flop bet is fine. I would not recommend overbetting the flop. I'm in the let's try to keep the pot small so that we can make appropirately sized bets without sucking up so much of our stack and make this bet look like our other (continuation, drawing, etc.) camp. Part of the reason for doing this is so our later non-TPTK bets look like TPTK and vice versa. If we overbet now and then bet 1/2 the pot later when on a draw, people will pick up on that. By making our flop bets similar in size, we disguise what the bets mean. We aren't giving the opponet correct odds to draw, we provide cover for disguising later bets and we keep the pot to a more reasonable size on the turn. I'd bet the turn. |

Re: Degen # 1
I know you aren't actually looking for advice here, but I would raise more preflop. Your opponents are giving up a lot by calling the larger raise, which they often will do.
