Fold to the reraise preflop. ATs is not the kind of hand you want to be in a reraised pot with even in position against this kind of player. You are too easily dominated. Be happy he is playing back at you, give up your initial raise and wait for a better spot.

I smooth call the flop to control the pot size. Then fold to a big bet on the turn. Unknown's reraising ranges are usually pretty tight. And if he continues to bet into you, you can be pretty sure he has a big pair and not AK. As played, you were both commited on the turn and there was no way out.

Re: How to play this situation without reads
The initial raise preflop is fine, but I would fold pre-flop to the reraise, which often means a big pair or AK.
As played, I just call the flop. I don't see what raising accomplishes here. After your raise on the flop, you should call the turn (as you did) because of your nut flush draw and trips / aces up outs (aces up only if you're not against AA) |

Re: How to play this situation without reads
I called preflop just because it felt like he was trying to resteal with the timing of his bet. It had become 4 handed and I was trying to become the table captain. And seeing as I thought he was stealing and not willing on betting again, I decided to raise the flop 3x his raise, like he had raised me preflop.

No reads here, then you know nothing about villains preflop 3bet range, you should assume your A-10 is beat.
It doesnt make sense to continue with a-10s to villians 3bet without reads. |

Re: How to play this situation without reads
Readless and only 18 hands into a session you have to lay this down preflop. I'd be folding AQ here until I get some info on their 3-betting range and how they play postflop.
The flop I'm just calling. Raising folds everything you beat, and if he has AK/AQ/AJ he has 3 outs, (unless both are clubs of course), so no need to protect your hand. |
