Unimproved AK

Easystreet · #1 08-19-2005, 05:18 AM

Villain is very aggressive, particularily HU. He will bet every street with unimproved over cards. He would probably 3 bet if I raised him, even if he still had just over cards. I was not sure what to do here so I just called down, thoughts?

I think I could find a fold on the turn.

What are UTG's preflop standards like?

How we should interpret the raise and cap is an important question here.

That looks like a pretty easy fold on the turn.

I think given this read your play is ok.

ok, but my question is this: if you know he'll bet every street with overcards, why are you posting this hand? it seems like you know what you think you ought to do given your read. the read on the player is worth more than some reply saying 'fold the turn' because they don't know who you're up against.

I think you're being VERY charitable about your read, and are basing it on either 1) what villain showed down here or 2) what you want him to have. He has bet at every opportunity. Unless he is absolutely falling over himself with tilt or a stone cold maniac, you've got to believe you're behind here. Fold turn.

Well played.

Fold the turn. I wouldn't call this even against a maniac. Deuces beat you.

You should call this against a maniac.

Edit: And I mean you should call it down.
