How to play this AK...

I have been here for about 3 orbits or so. Villian hasn't played much, but like I said only 3 orbits.

Preflop: Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG calls, 5 folds, Hero raises, Button 3-bets, 2 folds, UTG calls, Hero calls.

Flop: (10.50 SB) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets, Button raises, UTG folds, Hero 3-bets, Button caps, Hero calls.

Turn: (9.25 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero...?

Whats your plan for the rest of the way?
What do you put villian on?

Cap pf.

Looks like a chop to me, or you're WB.

I prolly c/c down. Also, 3 orbits is an eternity. I would concentrate on that first.

I think you can keep playing your 2 pair aggressively. The chances that you are beat are small:
JQ does not play the flop and preflop this way.
88 does not play preflop this way, usually. Could be a TT preflop, but the flop action does not make me think of TT.
AA and KK are unlikely here, do you see why?
It can also be a flush draw..

What range of hands do you put villain on and why?

Doubtful. The A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] are gone...

whoops- K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] --> K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

yeah, AA & KK vs AK happens frequently enough in my book.

Bodhi · #6 06-09-2005, 10:07 PM

It seems crazy, but just call down. Given the preflop action you're either going to chop or lose to KK or AA.

HollywoodDB · #7 06-09-2005, 10:08 PM

Yes I see why AA KK are not likely.

What hand 3 bets preflop and caps that flop that I can beat?
Maybe KQ [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]'s.

I think you can bet this turn, if he raises, call down. That said, calling him down after the flop is probably fine too.

Out of position? Meh. Maybe since that other donk is trapped in there.

That's why I was advocating it. I want to make my money off the donk, not the guy who isn't playing a lot of hands.
