AK UTG

I don't like your 3 bet at all. You will get all worse hands to fold and a clever TAG wouldn´t 4 bet you with AA KK and 88. Call his flop raise and check-call the turn. Block bet or check call the river.

It's not a real hand, lol.

your flop 3 bet is terrible. im guessing you are never, ever ever doing this with less than AK.


it lets him play pretty much perfect poker against you.

[Ansky]

Looks like an easy fold given how much you have blatently over-represented your hand. You've told him you have AK tied or beat, and he really doesn't care.

What if you dont 3-bet the flop? I imagine the action would go:

You call the flop raise. $450 in pot. Turn blank. He bets $400, you call. River, blank. He bets pot $1200, you call/fold.

Doesnt the flop 3-bet save us money against 88? I suppose if he has AQ, we get at least a river call out of him when he checks the turn through. I guess there's some amount of time he just bluffed the flop with air too. Other than these situations, why is a flop 3-bet all that bad?

w/out 3 betting this flop, a good player will stack you everytime. there's no need to milk a tag because he will not go off w/ an A-Q anyway. take what you can get on the flop and find out where you're at.

9-handed, this is a fold.

actually a good player will stack your a-k no matter what. just be glad this guy probably didn't wanna gamble w/ his 88.

I would probably call here expecting at least a tie. If he has 88, why isnt he just smooth calling your 3-bet and get it in on the turn. (maybe because you know that..)
