Re: AKs TPTK, line check
 

i would love to know how to play this type of hand as well. my stats are somewhat similar to this guy's and i think you're beat on river way too often to call.

Re: AKs TPTK, line check
 

I don't see any reason to slow down on the turn. I would bet about $9. If villain calls the flop and then raises the turn its usually a monster and we can let go. As played I would fold the river. The only hands we are beating are weaker aces and I think a lot of the time villain will have AT, 88, 1010 here.

this is what i was thinking but look at his stats, he easily 3bets these hands? surely?

Bet/fold the turn. As played river is an insta muck.

I don't think that he would 3-bet those hands to an UTG raiser.

Re: AKs TPTK, line check
 

I don't think villain is 3beting us pf with those hands when we raise utg. If we'd been on the button or cutoff then I would agree with you.

Re: AKs TPTK, line check
 

How has the villain been playing postflop?

As played, if you call his turn bet, I think you have to call the river.

Re: AKs TPTK, line check
 

c/r turn AI. Let him float you or bluff you etc and then hammer time.

Re: AKs TPTK, line check
 

Your checked turn gave him the impression that you had a low kicker. So he became more aggressive because (assuming he had Ax) he thought his kicker was better than yours.

You were (apparently unintentionally) giving him misinformation, and he was reacting to it. Should always keep in mind what your opponent thinks of you...
