Wherein the hero overplays AK, Part 1

[scatthecat]

Hero is possibly a little over-aggro pre-flop, but has not gotten out of line too much in large pots after the flop.

Villain is an older gentleman who has played generally weak-tight up to this point, and has admitted to respecting my play so far.

1-2 NL at the foxwoods


So, flame away, gents:

Hero is in LP with A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

4 limpers, Hero raises to $15, 1 caller in EP, Villain in MP calls.

Pot ~50

Flop: J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 10 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Check
Check
Hero bets 30 dollars.

EP folds
MP RAISES to 60.
Hero deliberates, asks how much MP has, and calls.

Pot: ~170.

Turn: 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Villain bets 60. (Leaving roughly 130 behind)

Hero RAISES all-in (has villain covered)


Thoughts??

Awful. Why are you calling a weak tight players check raise on the flop? I also check behind flop quite often bacuse it's draw heavy and we have a lot of outs.

I check back the flop, probably fold to the minraise, but as played i just call the turn and hope to spike, i think hes folding close to never

as said ez flop check especially live. that board hit way too many hands to warrant any folding. if stacks were deeper i could see myself betting it though.

turn raise is stupid. weaktightie raised you and keeps betting when flush cards hits w/o fear. hi your done call and hope to hit the river--possibly not even if he is weak enough to fold to the allin if another diamond comes out putting you on A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

i wouldnt say he's betting "without fear". i think he's more betting "with fear."

this would be cool if he had more behind but it's like 130 for him to call in a 400 dollar pot. what the hell is he folding

[schwza]

this is a very easy check behind on the flop. you have a low chance of winning now and there are a lot of cards that can help your hand at least somewhat.

in my experience with live play it would not be out of the ordinary to see an older gentleman do this with a low flush... i've seen people fold preflop after putting in >50% of their stack... esp weak tighties they will do some nitty stuff

but you're right, most of the time this won't be the case i guess

[Teph]

lol, this is so bad. Giving villain 4:1 while behind is bad news op.
