400NL AKs in BB vs UTG raise from regular
 

Villain is a regular (and a winner). $16 is his standard opening raise.

He is VP$IP 14.46% / PFR% 8.63% / WtSD 20.63% / WaSD 56.83 / BB/100 +6.38 over 5,000 hands

His UTG raise range is probably 99+, AQs+. I say that bc PT shows he's limped with 22 and 88 UTG but not raised with it. He's raised with TT UTG.

Comments on all streets welcome.

I would lead or check-raise the flop. You bet turn to slowdown sets and fold out TT/JJ?

Re: 400NL AKs in BB vs UTG raise from regular
 

Either bet/3bet or c/r flop.

As played I wouldn't lead turn.

i considered CR on the flop but I don't agree with "prepare to shove". Look at villains stats and UTG range.

With villain's PF range so small, I don't think 3 bet PF OOP is a good play. See a flop and take it from there I think.

Due to villain's range, I like leading the turn. AA - JJ hate this board. Villain is good. I don't spew, I think he know's that.

I would bet/3bet this flop.

hence why i didn't check raise?

Turn bet/fold is pretty terrible.

Re: 400NL AKs in BB vs UTG raise from regular
 

ck raise the flop...put villain to the test.

op, if roles were reversed in this situation would you be thrilled to get a ck raise and happy to get it in with TT+ on this flop?

Yes it is.

I don't like c/r on flop either because it leaves you in an awkward spot. If he pushes you have to call and are prob about even vs his range (like say sets, 99, QQ+) - not bad but not great either. And if he flat calls it puts you in an awkward spot on the turn if you are UI.

For me its either b/3b on flop or c/c then c/r ai on turn.

Re: 400NL AKs in BB vs UTG raise from regular
 

i just think that with a tight player like this one, this is the one of those rare moments where u can raise his flop without a set. I think it's important to do that even if he does have AA or KK most of the time here...
