200NL | AK, re-resteal fun against thief

raze · #1 02-17-2007, 07:15 PM

First raiser is 15/11, not much known about him.

Second raiser is frequent foe 25/18, absolutely loves to re-steal.

1. Thoughts on pre-flop move?

2. Misplaying post-flop situations like these are probably my biggest leak. On one hand, I don't think I can give a free card on a flop like this. However, he'll never call with a worse hand, and I think I'm too committed to bet/fold this flop.

Help please!

What hands are you worried about? You have AK so I think KK and AA are somewhat less likely, I would half pot and call shove?

Preflop sucks. Why such a small 4bet?

Flop I like check, but I dont think betting is a crime.

RR more pf if you think hes just stealing. He might be calling loose becusae he knows he is making a weak play. On the flop, you are not going to fold, but i would maybe check behind and hope he bets turn and just shove on him. Or you can jsut bet and call shove, whatever you think gets the money in best vs this guy.

I figured he would easily fold if he was stealing light, and I could also get away from a 5-bet (or a bad flop if need be)... what do u think?
