AK88 OTB vs aggressive villain who got all in for 120 BBs with AK26 no suits on a K 7 9 2 board against a gut shot / flush draw.

I have ~90$, villain covers

Villain raises pot preflop like he has done each of the last 30 hands or so. I call in position, blinds fold.

Flop is Q 8 2 with 2 diamonds. He bets pot, I'm torn between raising 1/3 of my stack here and calling and letting him hang himself further and overshoving a safe turn.

I decide to smooth call to try to avoid an awkward turn where I have comitted a large chunk of my stack to a hand I'm lost on. (pot 20$)

Turn is T (non diamond)

He bets pot again and by this point, I'm fairly certain he is fond of his hand. Now this is where I'm confused - this isn't exactly a "safe" turn card, if he was betting the 9TJx straight draw, but it's not hideous either. Shove here?

Instead, I smooth call, and a diamond hits the river, he shoves and by this point, its an obvious fold.

Hellllllllp.

It is an awkard situation. Against an opponent like that i prefer repotting flop.

I'd probably put him on an overpair with flush draw or two pairs.

I am for repotting flop.

But if you cautiously call flop , on turn ;

Fold>Raise>Disconnect>Turn off the computer>Watch interracial porn>Drink green tea>Study all night and miss the exam cus you fell asleep on your desk>Call

That was a quick edit.

I agree with your analysis, apart from the last bit. It so obviously should be:

Watch interracial porn>Close the poker software>Turn off the computer>Drink green tea>Study all night and miss the exam cus you overslept

Hmm.

In that order , it certainly makes more sense.

I have to add this because some may not know this , all these lists start with one permanent action as in ;

Lesbian Porn>Fold>Raise>Disconnect>Turn off the computer>Watch interracial porn>Drink green tea>Study all night and miss the exam cus you fell asleep on your desk>Call .

We don't mention it all the time because it is always there and above everything.

Well yeah, that's blatantly obvious. But if we replied Lesbian Porn to everything, the strat forums would be dead, and noone would play poker.

Meh.

After all , isn't life meaningless without Lesbian Porn?

not raising the flop is really bad imo, if you raise he's going to play back at you it looks like with almost anything

I agree calling the turn was really bad.

However - I don't necessarily think raising the flop is correct here.

If you raise the flop and he just calls, then checks to us when the T comes, are we shoving?

Stacks are very important in that case. How much money does a repot on flop leaves us on turn and how big will the pot be?

A repot on the flop leaves us with 60ish and would be able to effectively get all in on the turn.
