TPTK vs. mattg
 

Blah this is such a sick spot from the maniac rebuyfest. Thoughts on all postflop streets?

Re: TPTK vs. mattg
 

i think mattg is so tight that he either has 87 or a set here, ak is never good to this deep of shove even in the maniac rebuyfest. either way mattg doesn't 3barrell so gld.

Re: TPTK vs. mattg
 

From villain's perspective you could have 10s-QQ or a weak K. It doesn't seem like he's putting you on AK here. What do you know about villain i.e. his capabilities and tendencies. Barring any reads I think you're ahead of his line more times than not, but again I know nothing about villain. Very tough spot nonetheless.

Re: TPTK vs. mattg
 

villian is a pretty big nit... What really sucks is there's a decent chance we have the same hand, but not likely enough that I can call. I really wanted to fold somewhere earlier in the hand but I don't know if I can.

Yeah, Really hard to fold turn with his small bet. I don't see him 3 barrelling you very often here, so i think its a good river fold. Tough spot.

Re: TPTK vs. mattg
 

folding flop is probably correct

At first I thought you might have the same hand also, but don't you think he would 3bet AK this deep?

Re: TPTK vs. mattg
 

His flop raise is 100% set.

Re: TPTK vs. mattg
 

I don't know how villain plays but against an unknown I get it in on the flop.

Re: TPTK vs. mattg
 

I had AQ. I played off off my tight image and that I had smooth called KK preflop just a couple hands earlier for a big pot against mattster24. I put you on AK as soon as you smooth called my flop raise. My turn bet screamed monster IMO and it also saved plenty of chips for a river shove. As randall said "mattg doesnt three barrel", this is pretty much true as this is a play i make once a decade. I think it was a good fold longterm.
