Re: 50NL: AK 101 for the millionth time
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] What kind of flop are you hoping for when you call his preflop 3 bet? If you can't play this flop, then I think you need to fold preflop. [/ QUOTE ] Thanks. I'll just fold preflop next time. Problem solved. Awesome. /thread [/ QUOTE ] Whoops, my wording was bad, sorry if it came off harsh. I was trying to say that you have to be willing to continue (that's what I meant by "play") the hand hitting TPTK when you're making the call preflop. |

[/ QUOTE ] I'd be more likely to shove OOP, but even in position that's a legitimate option. However, aren't the hands that will call your preflop shove exactly the hands that kill you on this flop? As opposed to the wider part of his 3-bet range that still c-bet this flop where you are ahead? |

Re: 50NL: AK 101 for the millionth time
I've found that shoving AK preflop to 3bets is burning money at 50NL fwiw.

Re: 50NL: AK 101 for the millionth time
Dis,
As part of shoving AK PF im also doing it fairly often with AA-QQ, to balance the strategy. You do make a point but your equity if dominated pf is >> than equity if dominated post flop. If villain is calling with AA-QQ, AKs himself to the shove (and people do call less, this is just an example), your equity is much greater against that range at this time than on a Kxx board, which you should be stacking off on with AK in a 3 bet pot. |

Re: 50NL: AK 101 for the millionth time
Emc - the thing I hate about 4betting/shoving AK preflop is that ppl at 50 tend to 3bet really tight so a lot of the time I found myself against QQ/AK type range. I just don't rlly have a need for that kind of variance. I don't think I've ever pushed AK pre and saw AQ.
I generally don't start 4betting when someone is 3betting me light either because I think I have an edge in the 3bet pots (and more importantly I want to learn how to play them well). |

Re: 50NL: AK 101 for the millionth time
there is no way that this sb (26/20/5) is solely on qq+, ak here. i know it's nl50, but come on - hero is isolating a limper from the button and a reasonably aggro opponent came over the top. i'm with emc and will usually 4b/4bshove.

Re: 50NL: AK 101 for the millionth time
Well, if villain has AA, KK, QQ, or KQ (without considering a chance at a straight or flush if he was reraising with like some JTs stuff) you are dead to rights. Are you sure this is a good flop? I think its pretty nasty.

[/ QUOTE ] Definitely a good point about shoving AK so that people won't put you only on QQ+ or KK+. But, against QQ+ and AKs, your equity is actually better on a Kxx flop than preflop, where xx are rags. On this particular flop, your equity is terrible against QQ+,AKs -- but of course his range is considerably wider than that here.
