AK on the bubble
I've been reading for awhile, but this is my first post, so forgive me if I'm missing something... Here's my situation.
Full Tilt Poker No Limit Holdem Ring game Blinds: $3000/$6000 3 players Converter Pre-flop: (3 players) Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $12000</font>, SB calls, BB folds. Flop: 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($30000, 2 players) I was on the bubble (1st and 2nd pay) of the final table after about 2 1/2 hours of play. The person sitting in the SB was LAG... Not a maniac... but he pushes... usually when pushed though, he backs down. So I've had to be careful with my position during this extremely long final table. So what's my pay after the flop? Thanks. I'd really like to hear some feedback. |

Re: AK on the bubble
Stack sizes FTW. Turn card is also nice.

Re: AK on the bubble
Stack sizes
Hero: 52,756 BB: 163,449 SB: 53,756 As far as turn, I'm interested the play after the flop. This is what I did though: SB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $30000</font>, <font color="#cc0000">SB raises to $60000</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero calls all-in $10756</font>. Uncalled bets: $19244 returned to SB. Turn: 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($111512, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $111512) River: J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($111512, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $111512) |

Re: AK on the bubble
Stop min raising - definitely stop min raising for such a large % of your stack with AK.
Hero: 52,756 Blinds: $3000/$6000 Hero is Button with A K and pushes. You have <10bbs and are close to even with the sb's stack. Don't give the LAGy Bigstack the idea he can push you off the hand - push preflop. |

Re: AK on the bubble
I don't like the pot sized bet with air. I really don't like the call with air. Bet enough to get the job done and not much more. You will still have enough chips left to last a few more rounds and make a more secure stand.

[/ QUOTE ] And yes, I agree the min. raise pre-flop was my mistake... before then, I had been going in pre-flop for 3x the BB... My screwed up thought was that I wanted action with a big hand. Not another situation where both players just fold to me. Should I should have just checked the flop after I had already screwed up the pre-flop? The end result was he had a 6s to win the hand, btw. I really think that was a crazy loose call, on his part (a call I would have probably never made)... but of course, I lost the hand, so who am I to say? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] |

Re: AK on the bubble
In the future, it's better to not give results anywhere in the thread. Now any advice you get from this point forward might be tainted by the fact that they know what the result was. In fact, I'd edit it out now if I were you.
