AK OOP in RR pot.... Yep, I'm boned.

[h0ser]

This hand is a good example of why position trumps hand strength. There were a lot of crowded pots at this table so I wanted to get heads up and I got my wish. I don't much like checking the turn but once I bet I've pretty much commited my stack. Does anyone like checking here?

I'm not terribly unhappy with my line here but it got me thinking about AK in a big pot OOP.

(I doubt he's drawing often)

does the jack really effect much?

[Thrahl]

It effects it if villain has KJ,JJ. Im folding here.

you are getting more than 3:1 on this call, i believe you have to make a crying call
