Tricky spot?

<< < (2/3) > >>

AMRN:
Two schools of thought...

1. He has flatted a shove after your raise, and more often that not that"s a sign of weakness and an opportunity for you to exploit with a shove to isolate and reach showdown with the shortstack with dead money in the pot.

2. If you flat behind, with a dry side pot, it"s much easier to play the hand post flop as bluffs from him are unlikely.

From my perspective, early doors in the tourney, with weak/marginal hands, I call for value knowing post flop play will usually be straightforward. With strong hands AQs+, TT+, I re-raise... and we"ve already seen him call against strength, so have to assume he has something he wants to see a flop with, so I think we can re-raise large enough that we theoretically commit stacks.

Dan, Villain 2 has not played that many hands. From what I have seen I"ve got him down as an ABC type of player who doesn"t really get out of line.

Steve, point 1 is my usual thought process in this situation but as mentioned above it goes against the kind of plays he has been making and the image i have rightly / wrongly given him.

Our hand is AKo

s4ooter:
It goes in here i think

We have the A and K blockers and miss the flop enough to just get it in

hi_am_chris:
Don"t like flatting here prefer just to get it in here with AK,

If he folds it"s extra dead money in the pot and if he calls just win the flip...

pokerpops:
Putting ourselves in Villain 2 s shoes for a moment...

Don"t we flat AA/KK here? Villain 1 has done our dirty work by 3 betting and now we can leave the orig raiser to hang themselves with AK and lots of other stuff.
We (villain 2 still) are more likely to raise AQ/AK type stuff and smaller pairs because they are the ones we want to play against Villain 1.
