big slick - i fold tptk in a RRed pot

[keikiwai]

villain is 15/8.7/2.4 over 2k hands - he's never really done anything tricky afaik (so he doesn't have JJ here for example)- so he's pretty straight forward imo

gimmeeeee a better line

i'm running tight atm

no reads on villain relevant to this situation

this is fine

flat call pf next time

[Badgerpoo]

Why would you flat call preflop, because he raised utg? I'm not sure flat calling is a better way to play because then we're basically trying to hit an ace or a king and even then not being sure of ourselves...

[Kimpan]

nh. I like the c/c on flop. On the turn we can't be good.

[Tony Skaloni]

ehhh i cant figure out a better line but doesn't he have AK here like &gt;50% of the time. IMO dont those 1/2 nits 4 bet AA almost all the time and i dont think most would just push the turn with QQ here. i just feel like were getting bet off the chop too much of the time here.

[aditya]

b/f flop please. I really hate your line. Also, if you bet flop, and he calls, c/f on all other streets essentially (unless something drastically changes.)

[Nielsio]

You've induced a bluff. You have to call.

Not really. AK doesn't exactly have a super tight guy's utg raising range crushed here. That said, sometimes I three bet, sometimes I call and I don't think that either are bad as long as you're doing both some of the time.

OP - this hand is well played.
