Just jam the flop. He's only got another $34.50 behind him. Only 2 hands beat you.

nh, nothing wrong with letting him self destruct

check/raise flop all in on or shove turn. Rlly hard for him to valuebet a worse K on the turn with the way this went down.

Seriously, jam flop? Why? That just seems like an awesome way to lose every small K/retarded XX, in addition to pretty clearly defining our hand as AK/KK/AA.

Our hand is not really vulnerable to hands we are ahead of, so I think letting villain get on with betting worse K's/whatever is fine. I even think c/r turn might cost us value.

Also, isn't the conventional wisdom to 4b AK here preflop OOP? Or is BvB different? Meh, I'm such a coward I hardly ever 4b AK anywhere lol.

Fwiw, I think I like how OP played this, but am really worried that we are, somehow, beat. I can't quite see what his range is though...maybe AA isn't impossible. Actually, yeah, I think AA, or a chop, are the only hands that makes sense. Has to be AA. A random 3 would be a joke.

Shove river..C/C will miss value from weaker Ks most likely sooooted that 3 bet PF..If we can't fold the river we are better off betting our hand unless villain is a nut job that will fire 3 barrell in a hopeless spot...

Rest of hand is fine..Could CRAI the turn or shove PF vs this aggro villain...

[whizzle]

i play it the same nice hand

[Xanta]

I might 4bet AI preflop, might not.

Flop is good, anything else is silly. Turn, I don't see what else you can really do, if you lead then all the mid pocket pairs might call but will probably fold on the river.

I'm quite sure that I'd shove the river though, don't let him check behind with a middle pocket pair, he'll never fold and it's $16 in your pocket.

This looks fine, let him hang himself. It's pretty rare that I'll drop TPTK in a 3bet pot so this is probably the best to get it all in.
