250bb deep AK 6-max

JMa · #1 03-13-2006, 01:38 PM

10-20, stacks are $5200 deep. I have been pretty aggressive, but also been getting a good run of cards. Villain is TheRHODESIAN, a pretty solid multi-tabler. His range is something like AJ+, SCs, 33, 66.

Does anyone check the turn here in this spot (I'm not sure if I would or not)?

As for the hand, I probably call and evaluate river - a fold can't be too wrong though. If you really think he'd make that CR w/ AJ+, I think you have to call.

I dont know Villain but have you been aggressive enough to warrant not raising a set on that board until the turn? Does Villain often not raise his sets on the flop? Have you been so aggressive that he would think AJ-AQ is way ahead here?

I think if he could call with a set on the flop and at least moderately respects your raises then it is a clear fold. Otherwise, I think you could call turn and make a river decision but you would have to think that he is going to fire at least 2/3 of pot here unless it is an ace or a heart which will either improve his hand or slow him down....um, actually just fold.

You're lucky if you face AK. If you're not, at least you can have another 2 aces and 2 sixes to outdraw his 3s.

check turn, call river or make large river bet

Fold. Does he c/r here with AJish hands instead of just call? If it were me, I would only call your bet unless I put you squarely on AK and thought you would fold it, otherwise I would just call you down (allowing you to bluff). Do you think he really puts you on a better ace and wants to try to move you off it? It looks like he has a better hand than you here.

How likely do you think he is to be on a flush draw on the flop? I think Ax hearts gives you alot more action on the flop and Ax hearts is most of the likely flush draw. I also think from your description he is mucking AJ and AQ on the turn to a decent bet, so checking behind makes sense. Then again, this is probably just because I have seen you getting raised. You can't fear quads or AA, so you are really only worried about 33 right?

Let him donk it off

This seems like a great way to play AK if you're the BB. Now Im not advocating a call to split it, but BB can push you off his same hand like this even if the turn doesnt pair the 6 so long as he can reasonably define your PF raising standards.
