Confusing AK
A lot of new players came in this hand, and I was very lost what to do with this hand on pretty much every street. Was this a hand I should've stuck around to see a river in the first place? Should I have let a free card pass on the turn? Should I have raised the river (because I'm definitely not folding unless it's 2 bets to me)?
Stats: SB - 86 / 26 / 0.77 / 133 (very strange player...) BB - Unknown UTG - Unknown PokerRoom 0.50/1 Hold'em (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums) Preflop: Hero is Button with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.50. BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, SB (poster) calls, BB calls, UTG calls.

Re: Confusing AK
I fold the flop. It's not as confusing when I do that.

Re: Confusing AK
I would probably grudgingly fold the flop, although I would cold-call instead if I knew the action was going to freeze up like it actually did.

Re: Confusing AK
I'm not exactly certain why the flop is a fold. By the time it gets to us on the flop, there are 15 SB (or $7.50) in the pot and we have a 6 outer, meaning the pot needs to be roughly $7.70 for us to make a $1 call, which is about right.

[/ QUOTE ] We have to discount our outs. If UTG has AJ for example, we are drawing to 3 outs. I would also fold the flop |

Re: Confusing AK
you dont have 6 outs and you dont know that you wont have to pay more because you're not closing the action. BB has shown a good amount of strength with a flop bet into a preflop raiser and 3-bettor. all of your overcard outs come with reverse implied odds because of somewhat likely reverse domination by utg

I think we can peel getting 7.5:1 |

If you continue past the flop in this hand you are increasing your variance and decreasing your winrate. Fun! |
