AKs, 200bbs, 4bet pot vs a regular
 

Opponent is 20/15. I've been playing pretty straightforward TAG ... 3 betting a fair amount, but not too crazy. Those that play with me know what I mean.

I can't say much more right here ... if there's more specific history with the opponent, I can't remember it.

Let's just hear thoughts on the hand thus far ... what do you think about preflop and flop?

Call flop and re-evaluate turn. Raising will let villan play perfect and only a hand that is killing us is calling a raise. To be honest, I'm pushing all blank turns.

I think call is pretty standard but what do we do when he shoves turn???

Re: AKs, 200bbs, 4bet pot vs a regular
 

not a fan of calling his PF 4-bet but i guesss youre fairly deep and have pos, so whatever.

flop looks like easy call. KK and QQ are a huge part of his range so no sense raising and letting him get away easily. any idea if he would 3 bet push any hand you beat?

Re: AKs, 200bbs, 4bet pot vs a regular
 

QQ and KK betting this flop sucks, I dunno if Villain would do that

Re: AKs, 200bbs, 4bet pot vs a regular
 

Well I did call, turn is a T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and he pushed, $205 to me in a $323 pot. What do you all think. I'll hear thoughts on all streets of course.

Insta call. If he has A-A, we will shoot ourselves. If he has J-J, make a note. If he has A-J, buddylist. This isn't a hand that I'm getting away from based on pf action. I can't really fathom folding this hand on a blank turn. If a Q falls, then I'm prob folding.

Would you bet 10-10 or Q-Q if villan checked to you?

Re: AKs, 200bbs, 4bet pot vs a regular
 

no, not in a 4-bet flop.. I dunno how we can speak of AJ and hands like that against a 20/15 4-bet pre.. I think i'd fold pf.

The 10 doesn't really change anything. It's just hard to see what we are beating here, but I'm not laying this hand down. We don't beat much, but I can't see what he is holding that beats us. A-A (pretty unlikely), J-J (if villan is uber aggressive pf, it's possible, but I don't see a 20/15 4 betting this hand when deep), 10-10 (same as above), A-10 and A-J (unless villan is a idiot, I can't see him holding this). I call expecting to chop the pot with A-K or stacking a badly played K-K or Q-Q.
