AK squeeze - quick line check

[keikiwai]

How I play AK

1) Hammer the [censored] out of the pot button pf no matter what (almost)
2) Think carefully about the flop


In this hand, cold call sets of alarm bells (donkeys like to cold call w/ hand like QQ to big raises)

On the flop it's checked to me.... I definitely do not think I'm ahead... I will only get 2 folds very rarely, but I do have a drawy to the nuts, so my hand could deliver a lot of value.... i definitely don't want to risk a c-r (not that villains have much money left), and I don't think a push is profitable, so I check.

I hit. YAY! It's checked to me... super obvious what I have, but I push because villains don't have much left and I'm getting called by slowplayed sets and some big pocket pair 1 card str8t draws.

Standard, I play it the same on every street. Fold river.

looks perfect to me. prelop and flop look standard. turn is just how to extrac tha most based on tha donkey villians.

cbetting on this flop with 2 callers is terrible imo and a serious leak

[Sweir]

Looks pretty standard to me. Any specific reason for posting the hand? Was is mainly about whether to cbet that flop?

No - just a quick line check.

Is the turn bet too much?

I think if that T improved one of the villain's hands (or they flopped a great hand), the $14 is no diff. than a $6 bet. I probably would have bet $7 or so because the way the hand has gone, no one has shown any strength so I don't think anyone has a Q or J. If you bet $7 someone may call with a K thinking that they have outs but in fact they don't and may end up making a second best straight on the river.

I'd bet around $10

Super standard. The hand plays itself out really. JJ-KK should be in villains ranges so they either have a set (QQ-JJ) or OESD (KK) - which will all call a push. AK is not going anywhere so I wouldn't worry.

A smaller bet may get AQ in but its prob fine with TP and gutshot they prob go for it.

standard play, vary it occassionally with about 20% checks here to induce river action for free money and make this play bout 80% of the time. Push looks like a steal also so I like it.
