Turning AK into a bluff again
No history with villain, stats are 22/14/2.0, and seems reasonable. Given that I would attribute a large portion of his range to PP's, surely betting this flop is turning AK into a bluff because we can't profitably double and any A or K kills the action regardless. But then again, if we check behind, our hand is almost face up as AK. What to do?
I'm really getting owned in these spots. Party Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.50/$1 Blinds - 6 Players - (LegoPoker Hand History Converter) SB: $72.00 BB: $49.73 UTG: $67.81 MP: $67.99 CO: $64.44 Hero (BTN): $99.00 Preflop: Hero is dealt A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K (6 Players) UTG folds, MP calls $1.00, CO folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to $5.00</font>, SB calls $4.50, 2 folds Flop: ($12) 5 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3 (2 Players) SB checks, Hero ? |

Re: Turning AK into a bluff again
22/14 is the type that doesn't really respect position and will probably call with dominated type hands pf. he shows up with KQo and 98s here a decent amount. just bet the flop, check behind the turn, and river an ace.

Re: Turning AK into a bluff again
I check behind a lot. Who cares if your hand is face up (I don't think it neccessarily is)?

I'd be sooo tempted to "show" that 9 where he is at though. |

[/ QUOTE ] you're betting the flop to protect your equity. say he has a hand like 98s. sure, he's not calling when you're ahead, but he's also not putting more money in behind usually either, so you're just giving him a freeroll to win the hand. |
