so the river bet is for value? Why not just turn your hand over so the villan knows you are holding ATs-AK because thats exactly what your hand looks like on that river.

check behind, he is raising hands he beats and folding everything else. He might play a flush this way as well, once the A hits its EASY for him to get sexy on that river.

Pre-flop can be kinda hot, ignore those who say otherwise. Its very situational, if the situation was right then go for it.

flop - I won't even bother because its been said before.

On the river, after he checkraises, look at him, start laughing, and insta-3bet him. He'll put you quad 4s for sure, because he won't give you credit for being dumb enough to check any other hand behind twice.

God checking behind that river to his AQ/AJ would have been pretty sweet ownage.

Pre-preflop: Michael Jackson is a solid play. You could also raise Prince.

Preflop: Thin 3-bet considering your read, but whatever.

I have a minor peeve with this comment. The 3 bet is -ev here, not thin.

I have to disagree with this. I hate the way he played this hand, but the three bet is correct against practically all opponents. It is positive EV if he is a slight underdog to the opponent's range. AT suited will not be more than a slight underdog to nearly any good player's open raise range from the hijack. If he is raising with only the top 15% we have over 49% equity. Our $60 investment in the $145 pot is only about 42%, that's positive EV.

If the guy is only raising the top 10% from the hijack (unlikely), then its close but still positive. We'd have about 43% equity.

If you are going to 3-bet a player as you describe, there is no reason to even look at the board until you get checkraised somewhere. The whole point of 3-betting on the light end of his range is to put him in the position you put yourself in.

Well said Ryan. Thread over.

BTW, where have you been? Did your supersized brain just outgrow interest in poker?
