How often do you 4-bet him?

Gildwulf · #3 12-03-2006, 06:17 PM

In general? Not often, I played pretty standard against him in raised pots.

With AK? Almost always.

i'd check/call river and bet a bit more on the flop.

Why in the world would you check-call this river, in a big pot, against a solid TAG who plays well in big pots? He's never VBing QQ.

That's a fugly flop, it might be best just to let it go. Dont really like the weak bet on such a drawy board either, he might convince himself to shove AQ/AK/99

billyjex · #8 12-03-2006, 06:29 PM

gambler just must feel gild is very strong after his preflop 4-bet

i think checkfold is an option, as gambler shouldnt be calling alot with that 4-bet that didnt hit that flop pretty good

by the river the only conceivable hand AK beats is QQ and its not betting the river.. i think you can check/fold it.

I agree, I think c/c is awful on the river, because he is checking behind with his medium strength hands and rarely betting hands that do not have AK crushed.

I don't like the 4-bet btw, unless he's been 3-betting you a lot, I don't think we should 4-bet OOP with AKo and build a big pot against a solid TAG who plays well in these spots.
