Preflop is fine. Flop is def. spew. C/f on this board should be uber standard. If you want to play after the King on the turn, push the turn...betting $15 and leaving him w/$10 is uber stupid.

Re: NL50 - AK vs 1 opponent OOP
 

I think the flop is fine. There are plenty of hands in villains range that will fold to the c-bet. A lot of people will not fold any PP to the 3-bet. But on the turn i dont know if there are that many hands you can get value from by betting and i might check and hope to show down cheap. Checking could induce bets from worse hands.

flop is fine, if anything bet a little more...

Re: NL50 - AK vs 1 opponent OOP
 

so basically he folds out 22-66/88/99 and very rarely JJ...? Range of hands people will call 3 bets with &gt; hands people will fold here. You fold hands like 56ss. Sure sometimes hero hits the turn, but &gt; 1/4 the time he misses and sometimes is not good when he hits the turn.

Re: NL50 - AK vs 1 opponent OOP
 

When I OOP and vs one opponent I prefer to contbet safe flops (with no overcards to my hand and flush draws). Flop in this hand is realy dangerous. But I was a preflop REraiser. And when I 3bet preflop I Cbet 95% flops vs one opponent I think. The size of Cbet was realy too low, maybe 9-10 will be more better. Too many draws on the flop. And if he calls such size of contbet cheking the turn will be more clear here.

Can't agree with this. In fact, I bet a bit more on flop. Why would we not follow through with a cbet?

I think you have to continue on turn as you did, and river bet is so small you have to call there too.

So all in all I probably play this much the same without ever liking it very much. If he had a Q then that's a cooler.

Raise preflop a little more, at least 7 especially since your oop. Flop is good. What exactly are you value betting on the turn?

Just did not want him to collect a flush to his possible draw. Before I make turn bet, I noticed one more time that A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] is in my hand, but anyway I put him in a flush draw + king came to me.

You shouldnt expect too many draws in reraised pots, especially with an Ace in your hand. This makes for a very awkward bet with $10 behind.
