5/10NL at Party Poker -- AK on the Button

[John Doe Jr.]

I read Villian as slightly loose aggressive pre-flop and aggressive post-flop. I have a TAG image if Villian has any read.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $5/10 BB (8 handed)

BB ($1156.50)
Villian ($985)
UTG+1 ($500)
MP1 ($1834.03)
MP2 ($805.75)
CO ($244.35)
Hero ($457)
SB ($980)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $5.
Villian calls $10, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP2 calls $10, CO calls $10, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $40</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB calls $30, Villian calls $30, MP2 folds, CO folds.

Flop: ($145) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, Villian checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $100</font>, BB folds, Villian re-raises $945 (All-In), Hero ???.

What if I had a bigger stack that would be at risk?

You need to raise this to $70 or so preflop. You are building a multiway pot w/ AKo which is silly.

Also, instamuck.

Really only a few hands you're likely to see from villain in this scenario.

22, KT, Txd, Axs, JQd, J9d, AA. In about that order of likelihood.

[Belphegor]

Agree that you should take it up to at least 50 pre-flop. Fold with any stack on the flop.

Does everyone realise he is short stacked? I obviously thought easy fold before I noticed this but i think as a shortie you maybe gotta call your last $300 into a $600 pot here. Why are you so short stacked? Fold if you were any deeper.

Yeah, didn't notice that.

[John Doe Jr.]

Yeah, the stack is a big part of the question.

If anyone is interested, I called and Villian flipped over 55.

5/10NL Party Poker tables are loose.
