Re: AK v. Min Raise
Given he's only got 65, I would just move in now. He might feel priced in and call, or he might just let a random flush go (which is fine). If you just call and open push a blank turn, I think he'll fold a draw often.

Re: AK v. Min Raise
He will never fold a flush. Villain is +EV to call a flop push at this point if he is on a flush draw. I haven't run the #'s, but I think at this point calling and pushing a blank turn (with him folding to the push) is more +EV than getting it in here. I think the best play here is to call flop and get it in on a blank turn. If the turn comes a heart, then it comes down to a read whether he is drawing. If he were a little deeper, we could push flop and make this a tougher decision for him. |

Re: AK v. Min Raise
That's fine if we're guaranteed villain will call it off on a blank turn. The thing is he'll fold to a huge turn bet unimproved with only one card to come a lot of the time.
Just because it's +EV for him to call doesn't mean it's not +EV for us, too. If the turn blanks and he folds to a push, we just let him save his stack. If the turn flushes and we fold, we just let him draw out on us for free. |
