AK on the Button

<< < (2/3) > >>

LongshanksED:
Pre - reraise>flat. I"m I"m shoved on it"s a difficult call but probably a crying one with a flip at best. That said I font hate the flat in position but I"m prepared to dump if I miss

Flop - I"m giving up after it"s bet out to me

As played I"m taking the free card on the turn and if I whiff then I can easily dump it. Your at best the 2nd best hand at the moment. But then their is lots of other factors to take in. Like when you said one of the opponents looked like ge regretted making a big pot.

A shove may take it here, that would involve a deeper level of play that can only be utilised if your at the table but then the BB could be trappy with a set

AMRN:
Without other info, this feels like a great spot to semi-bluff shove the turn. Your flat on the flop has slowed the guy down from betting to checking - he clearly thinks you have something..... a shove now is believable.

WYoung83:
 As played i would actually shove now, you are repping flushes and it looks like you may have it. You may get him to fold QQ here and if he calls then you have 15 outs.

bigredders:
don"t mind the call on flop....don"t like going crazy with AK

turn....absolutely shove!

It is a £50 tournament, starting stack 8k, plus another 8k for £40 at the first break, which has passed. Standard is generally pretty hot; quite a tough tournament. About 30 runners and only a few have busted. I have 22k, blinds 200/400.

Firstly, It seems to me that this is really bad game selection John. £90 to enter a tough field with first place likely paying ~£1k

On to the hand.......

This is a really good spot to 3 bet, raisers range is wide, we take it down pf often and maybe lose some equity but increase our stack by 14% and avoid creating tough spots for ourselves stuck between an accomplished player and a weak loose station.

We will sometimes find the top of his range (a talent at which I"ve become rather expert) and get 4 bet but with little or no edge over the field it is basically a flipfest, so embrace them. ;D

Flatting as you did is not awful unless you don"t have a plan or don"t stick to that plan. Floating the flop for 25% of your stack is awful and I much prefer a speculative jam over the top with whatever [equity + fold equity] we have.

To summarise...

Preflop, 3bet > Flat >>>> Fold.

Flop, Fold > Jam >>>>>>> Float
