AKs in the SB with limpers, level 1
I got this hand from a video. The play of hero and the rationale seemed a little nonstandard, so I thought it would be interesting to discuss.
Level 1 of stuper, original stacks 2K, blinds 10/20. First 3 positions limp. You have AKs in the SB. How much do you raise to? I don't know if anyone here would complete. |
Re: AKs in the SB with limpers, level 1
Is completing really THAT horrible with 3 UTG limpers at this stage? The pot is only 90 and you're out of position having to put a chunky raise in to narrow the field?
I know it's AKsoooted and not saying I'd necessarily do it - but is it that bad? |
Re: AKs in the SB with limpers, level 1
I hate this spot and I often lose quite a few chips here. If you raise big, you 're getting called a lot because of implied odds. Raising big seems put us at risk of losing a big pot and rarely winning a big pot.
I wouldn't be surprised if the player shoved or called here. |
Re: AKs in the SB with limpers, level 1
i would raise to 80 or 100 but rarely continuation bet when i flopped nothing

Re: AKs in the SB with limpers, level 1
This is a raise. You have to think that they can be limping with so many hands. Try and get the pot heads up with a raise and then I C'bet the flop 100% of the time. If I make a large raise preflop and wiff on the flop then its C/F

Re: AKs in the SB with limpers, level 1
i make it 120 and cbet ~75% of flops that i miss (giving up on the drawiest/scariest boards)

Re: AKs in the SB with limpers, level 1
80 or 100 is way to small. at least 120.

Re: AKs in the SB with limpers, level 1
125

This is from a Belowabove video. I was wondering what his videos would be like, because he is a fairly successful aggressive player, but I don't think he understands a lot of the "book" play.
He raised to 80 on the theory that the limpers would call 200, and he didn't want to build the pot too much OOP with a drawing hand. Usually people raise more OOP if they raise. I would just make a standard raise of 120 or a little more and generally check/fold the flop with it is multiway and I miss. |

Yup 120 > complete > raise 80 IMO
