AKo against decent player

88please · #1 08-24-2007, 12:15 AM

Background:

Villian is an 8/16 regular who has played many hours with me. He knows i'm tight and normally aggressive. He plays fairly well, but will sometimes raise draws in marginal situations and over-defends his blinds. Table is normal CP LAGro retarded.

Hand:

Two bad limpers and hero raises A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] in the CO, BTN calls, Villian (SB) calls, BB calls, limpers call.

So we're six ways to a flop of A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Checked to me and i bet, only SB calls.

Turn brings 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] . SB checks, i bet, SB checkraises, my line? Easy raise? Call down unless i make a boat? If i three bet and he four towns me, fold river unimproved?

i would just call down UI. his flop play suggests that he has spades or is slowplaying (which is more likely full house than worse trips IMO).

I'd rather call down than any line that ends with folding unimproved. It would be tragic to fold the best hand because he was playing a worse ace very aggressively.

I would call down unimproved.

3bet dat shizzle and evaluate the river. He'd have to be really aggro(for a live $8) to 4bet a flush here OOP, even the nut flush.

call down UI, imho.

Call down.

Why? It's not like he's going to only

put Hero on A6, A7, 66, 77, or AA.

That whore doesn't have a spade!
(Oh sorry that was the PBob in me coming out).

Well, my original plan was to call the turn raise and raise any non-spade river, folding if he three bet. I felt there was absolutely no chance villian would bet three bet against me here with a hand worse than mine. I do feel that he's capable of four-betting this turn with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] , but he'd three bet this preflop most of the time. It sounds like the consensus is to just call it down. If we decide we have to raise it again, do we like waiting for the non-spade river or pumping the turn?
