$60 - AK TPTK facing scary action
PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t30 (8 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com
UTG (t1380) UTG+1 (t1560) Hero (t1470) MP2 (t1470) CO (t1710) Button (t1430) SB (t2870) BB (t1610) Preflop: Hero is in MP1 with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] UTG calls t30, UTG+1 calls t30, <font color="red">Hero raises to t180</font>, <font color="gray">MP2 folds</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, <font color="gray">BB folds</font>, UTG calls t150, UTG+1 calls t150 Flop: (t585) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players) UTG checks, <font color="red">UTG+1 bets t120</font>, Hero calls t120, <font color="red">UTG raises to t450</font>, UTG+1 calls t330, Hero? It's so hard to lay this down against unknowns, on the weekend, when the default play is sooooooo bad. But I think I need to. As to why I didn't reraise preflop, eh not my standard play, but it seemed like a safe enough board to get cute and try to extract some more chips. Until all hell broke loose that is.

Re: $60 - AK TPTK facing scary action
UTG - Pre Flop: Limp, call 6x re-raise... check raise 2 callers on flop...
UTG+1 - Pre-Flop: limp, call 6x re-raise... Flop: Bet out T120, called a check-raise... All of this action happened against a player who raised 6x PF, and called a bet on flop... I dont see how your AK is good here... but, screw em, I'd push...

Re: $60 - AK TPTK facing scary action
I said in my OP. I don't remember but I think I was getting a little cute. Pretty dry board. No real scare cards could come on the turn. If villain has decided to take the impetus sometimes I'll let him fire a couple barrels. Maybe pick up some of UTGs money as well. I usually min-reraise the turn if I take this line, try to get him pot-comitted to his weaker ace or his slowplayed high PP, now that I've confused him as to whether I have an ace or not. It's a little dangerous, but I think pays off with a stacking frequently enough to be profitable. Obviously I wasn't expecting UTG to get all crazy.

Re: $60 - AK TPTK facing scary action
I really don't like smoothcalling such a small bet.
If he bet out big and you're pretty sure he has AQ/AJ, that's fine, as you'll feel committed no matter what anyway. However, with this bet you're not committed. If the turn comes a Q or J or T for that matter and the guy pushes, you're not gonna feel real good about things. There's also the matter of someone behind you. Don't let these chumps suck out for free, in my opinion. Ryan

Re: $60 - AK TPTK facing scary action
Yeah, that was a really small bet. This could be an 8-tabling casualty of me not noticing the pot/bet size. The nice thing about just calling it though is it does look really weak. Almost guaranteed to extract a bigger bet on the turn.

Re: $60 - AK TPTK facing scary action
Well I wasn't trying to extract that much action 3-way. UTG calling is one thing. CRing, and not even all in is another. Anyway, I'm probably being results oriented - I shoved, UTG had 55, UTG+1 folded.
