Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.25/$0.50 Blinds - 6 Players - (LegoPoker HH Converter)

SB: $44.25
BB: $51.25
Hero (UTG): $67.60
MP: $182.30
CO: $110.65
BTN: $43.75

Reads: Villain is 26/8/0.75 over 61, in other words a pretty passive fish.

I have been running 20/19/oo

Preflop: Hero is dealt A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (6 Players)
Hero raises to $2.00, MP folds, CO raises to $7.00, 4 folds
Uncalled bet of $5.00 returned to CO

Pot Size: $4.75

This is standard against this opponent, right?

With your read I think you can let this go. We're hoping for AJs/AQ here, plus you're OOP.

Extremely standard.

I don't understand this. Those are just some stats over a small sample. Don't you think villain could have more than just AA/KK/QQ/AK? I know it sucks to be oop with a hand that misses most of the time, but isn't that still a call?

I'd 4bet before I flat called.

Easy easy fold. I've been looking to muck AK in spots like this and this is the perfect example.

fwiw Fiksdal I think all your strat posts are excellent, keep it up man [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
