AK OOP gets disgusting flop
I hate playing OOP! There is at least one thing that I would do differently, but lets wait for some opinions. Go ahead, tell me, I'm a donkey!
Villain came in with a very short stack, and built it up a bit. Nothing special about him. Poker Room skin No Limit Holdem Ring game Blinds: $0.25/$0.50 5 players Converter Stack sizes: UTG: $28.85 CO: $26.45 Button: $62.20 SB: $46.00 Hero: $95.35 Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#cc3333">UTG raises to $1.5</font>, CO folds, Button calls $1.5, SB folds, <font color="#cc3333">Hero raises to $5</font>, UTG calls $3.5, Button calls $3.5. Flop: 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($15.25, 3 players) <font color="#cc3333">Hero bets $12</font>, <font color="#cc3333">UTG raises all-in $23.85</font>, Button folds, Hero...

Re: AK OOP gets disgusting flop
OOP with a flop like that and im checking and hoping to see a free turn. If you are raising pre-flop, raise more...You are out of position with a raise and a call behind so this may be the perfect time for an isolation raise of say 8-10. But then again, I overvalue AK pretty badly preflop.

I feel pretty lost with the flop. I was trying to represent big pocket pair, and naturally hoped for two folds behind me. How about calling the all-in. About this I'm very confident though.

Re: AK OOP gets disgusting flop
Just call pf or raise a lot more - to about $7-8 total. I prefer raising to take it down pf, which most of the time you will do.
Check-fold flop...as played fold. NB If you really want to take a stab at this pot, then lead turn if both check behind on flop.

Against AJ my equity equity is 19%, so it's a call KJ it about the same. I'm ahead of a flush draw. Against a set and AA I'm almost drawing dead, so it's a call in my opinion.

You are overvaluing your AK, this is a leak...your spewing money all over the time. One of the regulars back me up?
