An AK bluff

[gol4pro]

I'm not all that used to reraising AK here.... but this one seemed like a pretty obvious reraise.

UTG+1 is very LAG. I'm guesing he's 27/17. We have not had any major conflicts leading up to this.

No notes on the rest of the table.

party 2/4 full ring, stacks 480 (120BB)

UTG+1 opens for 15$, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, CO calls, hero raises to 80 on button with A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], UTG+1 thinks and calls, others fold

pot 200
flop 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
-- UTG+1 thinks 5 seconds and checks, hero insta-pushes.

Doesn't he have TT-QQ here pretty much every time? I'm having a hard time believing that any of these hands can call either.

I've seen stranger things happen than TT-QQ calling here.

If you check behind on flop, villan will almost certainly bet the turn regardless of his holding. I think that you might get more FE if you raise allin on the turn.

AA or KK does not insta push this flop... it bets $139 or so. If it were me, I would call you here with JJ or QQ (not TT tho) simply since your raise pf screams "I'd like you to fold now please, since you are a LAG"

I agree that overbetting the pot here looks weak. Yet, that might be exactly the kind of signal AA/KK wants to send out. Having said that, you can also diagram AA/KK by just betting ~50-60% pot, leaving both of you with a 75% psb left on the turn. This looks stronger because you indirectly threaten villain's whole stack [while you can still get away from the hand if he reraises].

i like a bet of 150ish.

villian folds.
