AKs vs blind re-raise

Poker monkey · #1 10-04-2007, 03:37 AM

Is floating on this flop profitable, or is it an insta-fold?

He's playing something like 30/20/5

I could shove in half my stack pre-flop, but I don't think AK is that great against his re-raising range here. Would be too weak folding pre-flop I think.

So we're just hoping he has Ace-Queen?

I didn't know anyone could have the nuts preflop before the hand's even played.

Fine as played.. could've 4bet PF but you got the button it's not absolutely wrong to call.

It's a rather large 3-bet by him so I'd definitely be more inclined to 4bet instead of cold call. 4-handed against a 30/20 I'd say you're pretty far ahead of his range and its certainly worth it to take the pot down right now. If he cbets with the regularity of most people in 3bet pots its going to be tough to play on the flop when you miss most of the time. If you choose to flat call preflop you are going to have to be comfortable shoving over some of his cbets even when you miss or it just won't be profitable to call.

As played I'd float if I had an idea of how aggressive he was on the turn/how often he double barreled. If you think he's likely to fire again it's better to just fold the flop.
