I didn't say it was a good way to play AcKc, just that I saw it a lot. They don't want to jam the flop with one pair but now that they have a draw, they think they're gold. I don't know if 10/20 people do that but its not uncommon at 2/4-5/10.

I think you played it fine. I push the turn. You've got him beat far too often to fold here.

I don't usually get a chance to put 210 BBs on the line. Was wondering if that changed anything in people's opinion.

Default RESULTS

I thought about it for a while, then realized I was stuck a few grand and if I won this hand I'd be positive again, so there's no way I could consider folding.

I also figured pushing might possibly somehow maybe let him off the hook if all he has is AK, so better line was to call the check-raise and get it in on the river, as BluffThis suggested. I can also probably drop the hand if an ace falls on the river, since I think a lot of his range consists of aces up. Except I doubt I would've dropped it, but it's nice to think these things.

Anyway, I called.

River was a J which changed nothing, he pushes I call.

He has AQ, MHIG.

Sure to add more fuel to the "never fold a set" fire, but I thought it was a genuinely difficult decision, until I realized, ohno stuck, gamboooool!

you said you think he could have AK with this line, so you shouldn't fold on any river (even the ace, or I should say, especially the ace)

That's the worst possible reasoning for making poker decisions.

Still, interesting hand though.

My vibe was AQ, AA, or QQ as I was playing the hand, I thought there was a remote chance of AK but not really likely.
