AQo -- a HPFAP play I don't make much

Nick C · #1 10-02-2005, 07:28 AM

After I got called in all three places on the flop, I thought maybe it'd be a good time to go for one of the turn checkraises described in HPFAP on pages 141-3. And I'm wondering whether or not I picked a good spot.

UTG+2 and MP2 are both very loose.

UTG+2 is 71/10/1.5 after 180 hands and has a tendency to bet when checked to.

MP2 is 55/13/0.7 after 106 hands. Also, he likes to limp-reraise (though he didn't during this hand).

I didn't have much of a read on BB, but his stats are 11/0/0.9 after 35 hands, for what it's worth.

Sure. A fine time for a screwplay in my opinion.

you so obviously have AK, and on that board someone is a favorite to have a pair, so yeah it'll get bet enough to make this cool IMO. if it goes bet-raise, how do you rank your three options?

I still wouldn't be willing to give either the bettor or the raisor credit for a better hand after my check, so probably 3-bet>call>fold?

I save that play when I am against 1-2 opponents, u have too much value here against 3.

I started wondering about that when BB led the turn. I was thinking I'd at least call but probably 3-bet instead. It didn't come to that, though.

Actually, I was a little bit surprised at how the hand played out:

By the way, I like your location. I'm glad to see you're playing 10/20 now.

I do this often, and I [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] it almost as much as I [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] river checkraises.
