25NL - AKo against TAG and Maniac
UTG is 14/10/2.6 over 1161
SB is 72/15/1.2 121, and seems to be calling pretty much with anything PF. Had a big hand with him when I had 56s on 563r board and stacked against his AA and he caught a 3. I am seen as pretty nitty. Full Tilt Poker, $0.10/$0.25 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 6 Players LeggoPoker.com - Hand History Converter SB: $47.50 Hero (BB): $25.35 UTG: $24.65 MP: $45.45 CO: $3.40 BTN: $4.75 Pre-Flop: K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (BB) <font color="red">UTG raises to $1</font>, 3 folds, SB calls $0.90, Hero calls $0.75 I can hear people saying 3bet PF, but SB would most likely call, and if UTG calls it would just inflate the pot and there's no way I could take it down with a cbet. Even If I flop TPTK I wouldn't be able to stack off comfortably, would I?

Re: 25NL - AKo against TAG and Maniac
I still 3-bet pf for value if he's calling almost all raises/fold to utg 4-bet. I would comfortably stack off on an a/k high semi-dry flop in a 3-bet pot. If you didn't think a c-bet would take it down I don't understand why you're raising the flop especially with the pf raiser still to act behind you. I do agree with raising min-donkers most of the time, but on this draw heavy of a board, you're rarely ever going to get a fold from him.

Re: 25NL - AKo against TAG and Maniac
3-bet PF to isolate against Maniac in position. I think this is far and away the best play. By just calling, you're 3-handed, OOP and stuck between a maniac and a TAG - that means you act after the maniac, but before the TAG, which is bad.
Also, 3-betting pre-flop inflates the pot enough that you can play for stacks on almost any A/K high board. If you miss, you can always check behind for a free card and still have a shot at stacking the maniac if you spike a A/K. Also, as previous poster said, fold to UTG 4-bet. As played, call flop, call turn, call river. I don't like a raise on the flop because you have nothing on a nasty board. Bluff-raising this board is probably -EV. You're basically calling for odds and to see what TAG does. |

Re: 25NL - AKo against TAG and Maniac
Please explain the phrase "I would comfortably stack off on an a/k high semi-dry flop in a 3-bet pot".
You 3-bet to $3, and get two callers, then push the semi dry flop (Q72, 2 of a suit, or maybe Q89 rainbow?)? Edit: Okay, sorry, read it again... AK high board meaning there is an A or K on the board... got it |
