Super Tuesday early AK hand against very active player.

[gobboboy]

He's been playing 3 pots or so an orbit and has been basically breakeven. My image is standard gobbo, meaning people think I am more crazy than I am. Time for a multi part hand!

call

edit: unless he's bad.

And I forgot this is like the new MTT talk a lot forum.

You shouldn't 3bet too often here at all, especially with a hand like AK. Your perceived reraising range will be ultra tight, even w/ a gobboimage. Because of this you should tend not to be repopping w/ hands at the bottom of your perceived reraising range.

Okay, that one was pretty easy and I won't make more people all say call.

Call flop, this is so easy

[TheNewf]

I raise this flop. This player is likely the type to get a ton of money in with a dominated ace.

I'd usually call preflop. I'd definitely raise the flop and of course call any reraise. He could easily have AQ, AJ and I think if you raise immediately an active player loses all his chips close to 100% of the time. There is also the possibility that he can't give up KK immediately because they are so pretty.


One reason to just call is if you think he's an absolute lock to lose all his chips with AQo or AJo regardless of what falls, meanwhile hoping to get maybe one river bet against KK, QQ or whatever. However I don't want to give the free card or two especially since a 2 outer probably results in you losing your entire stack, and also I think it's not 100% that he simply folds these hands to a flop raise.
