50NL - AKo line check

[Willem]

I have less than 10 hands on villain, and no reads.

How's my line here? Is this standard?
If this is standard, on what kind of flops should I not have pushed?

what is this? oO

Villain only has PSB behind. That said, his big initial raise pf is weird big...I don't think I'd give him much credit for calling your 3-bet here as most donks will call 3bets pf with any pp &gt;55. He'd also probably shove pf with KK or AA so if you think you have decent FE against him then this is fine.

If this flop had been something like JT7 I'd be way more hesitant to make this play.

[Harry Fong]

too ambitious considering you have no reads!

You must be aware of his position and maybe the 6xbb bet. A good TAG player will only come out betting quality hands from this position. I don't like it one bit...

A good TAG isn't opening for 6xbb from UTG.

[Harry Fong]

Yes i agree. It was just an example to emphasise the dangers of making such a read dependant move based on just a weird preflop bet.

Could also be a poor player over betting TT, JJ, QQ, KK, AA preflop but with out a decent read to back it up i think its too risky.

flat all in???
what kind of play is that
looks like you missed to me and dont want a call

[Gullanian]

Very decent players can call those sorts of bets because usually they are bluffs.

[JadeRedstone]

A shortie will call here with any pair.

Guys look at stack sizes...
