10NL AKs OOP loose table.... uggh!
 

I really have big problems playing big slick at loose tables, looking for help and advice.

Only about the 30th or 40th hand at this table. My only read on the villain was that he's pretty loose preflop, limping in a lot. Actually, a lot of players at this table were like this.

Hero ???

I put him on QJ, or possibly even Q10 with his reraise on the flop, so I wasn't sure if my hand would even be good if an A or K hit. I made a blocking bet on the turn. Not sure if this was a good move, or if even calling his reraise on the flop was a good move. When he just called my turn bet, I ruled out Q10 and put him on QJ. Unfortunately the river didn't help. Any thoughts?

word to shipit. I usually have all my money in before or at the turn.

First I would raise more preflop to punish the limping.
As played, I would certainly 3bet the flop to 5 or 6. People like that might also be on a flush or straight draw.

No way you're folding this. 3bet the flop and get it in. You have the nut flush draw, a gutshot straight draw to the nuts and two overs that might be good or maybe 1 of them's good.

And he will fold to your 3bet a good amount of the time.


It is +ev to 3bet this type of hand on the flop and if necessary felt it right there.



Edit: Raise more pre-flop. 4BB's + 1 per limper so 6 BB's here....some people then make it an extra one for being OOP especially with a hand like AK.
