I wouldn't donk the flop. Button isn't raising with AK here much but he'll bet it. Check/raise the flop.

Check the flop and evaluate the action (typically raise).

As played, it doesn't seem like Button is slowing down. I call.

fdwarrior · #4 03-27-2007, 07:24 AM

raising wont help us, so call and see the turn

Unstable James · #5 03-27-2007, 01:35 PM

Do I call down here if turn and river are blanks, or can I find a turn fold UI?

kaby · #6 03-27-2007, 02:30 PM

I think I call and bet any non AK turn. Call down if raised.

I probably start calling down, but TAG could be doing this with AKs, but also AA, KK, JJ which has you crushed.

What hands do you think the button is going to cap with preflop? Of those hands, how many would you be ahead, and how many would you be behind?

kaby · #9 03-27-2007, 08:01 PM

Depends a lot on how good of a player the button is. If he knows mp1 is weak and that you could be iso raising him than his capping raise might be fairly large.

hmmm ... 16/10/3 - is a little aggro (might have a small bet/fold problem)

would buttom have the same read as you on MP - if so (then you probably can include a few more hands for a cold cap in position ... TT(99)+, AJs+, AQo+)

I don't think leading the flop is too wise (do you have a reason ... if so give it)
after capping pre flop BTN will be betting this flop 100%, MP is a retard and will be calling with pretty much anything - by check raising you get the most out of hands you beat ... by donking you allow BTN is raise his better hands, and also raise AK, AJ (maybe TT if he thinks you're a folder) putting you into a bad spot
the problem is he still might 3bet you with A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] or AJ (depending on his read of you)
