$100 NL Ugly Kings
 

I've been really active recently, raising a lot of pots (especially when BB limps, which he's done a lot) and betting a lot of flops and I've also bet the turn a lot when called on the flop because they've only called me on the flop when I actually had a strong hand. I've also given up pretty much every time that someone has played back at me.

I would usually fold this on the flop (yes?), but I thought it was more likely than usual he was testing me with a pocket pair or a 9 or flush draw. I was planning to fold if he made a big bet on the turn, but then he bet small and I decided to call. I was planning to fold to a big bet on the river, but then the ace came and suddenly one card beats me instead of 4.

I'm still unsure about every street here. Fold the flop? Fold the turn? Raise turn to see where I'm at? Fold river?

Looks perfect to my untrained eye

Re: $100 NL Ugly Kings
 

I raise to $3.50 preflop or $4. $3 is a bit weak.

I check the flop a lot. Actually I probably check the flop always.

I would generally check this flop.

Re: $100 NL Ugly Kings
 

When I check the flop, what often happens is that it checks around and then BB bets the turn. What do I do then? He could just be betting a pocket pair or anything because the flop checked around or he could easily actually have an ace. Or he could be running me into the guy behind me with an ace. I really have being caught in the middle and not knowing what is going on.

What would you do on this flop w/ AK?

Re: $100 NL Ugly Kings
 

bobbyi,

If I checked flop, I'd call turn

Duerig,

Yeah, I'd bet flop with AK, but I wouldn't with A2

Why? And how do you respond to a PSB?

Re: $100 NL Ugly Kings
 

Redd, because it is difficult to get called by worse hands.

If it gets checked around and BB bets turn, I fail to see the problem with this..

Re: $100 NL Ugly Kings
 

nh. I also usually check the flop, then will definitely call the turn if bet into. As played I am never folding to the flop minraise.

Rest of the hand is perfect. Nice river.
