FTOPS #1 AK on monotone flop vs 52 /27
FTR converter isn't working for FTP. villan doubled up first hand by flopping a flush w/ K2s vs QQ and picked up another big pot flopping two pair after calling a EP pfr with KJ. Last orbit I called his pfr with a small PP and c/f to a small flop bet. Villan has also raised a couple of cbets so far.
I checked the flop b/c I have the best hand here a lot and I don't want to get blown off my hand here. good yesno? What's my line on the turn? If you call what's your plan for the river?

If you think he's nuts you can call two bets with ace high. Personally though I think this is generally a good spot for a free card raise. Make it like 400ish. I would expect him to call and check the river most of the time. At which point I would check behind, every river.

That is the only reason. You just call, he probably fires a pot sized bet any way on the river. You still have no clue as to where you stand, I think this is a cheaper way to get to a showdown. Plus he may very well fold to a raise. |

a hand that will call a raise is a hand that will beat AK this is horrible advice [/ QUOTE ] Any hand with a broadway diamond will call a raise and may bet here on the turn since you look scared on the flop. He will never fold, but hands that you're beating will call you. |

Re: FTOPS #1 AK on monotone flop vs 52 /27
I bet 120 on this flop and I think your rationale for not doing so is a little weak/scared. You've got a nice hand in position against a really fast player, I don't think our immediate reaction should be to try and get to showdown as quick and cheap as possible. Also, you have to avoid playing exploitable here and letting a player get control of the table.
I bet the 120, with the plan of calling if he makes it 350 and checking behind on almost any turn including a diamond (but not an offsuit A or a K) cause I think he'll lead the river if I do that like every time. If he bets the turn we have to fold if the math isn't there (imp odds incl of course). re: replies, I don't like the turn raise as played. |
