Full Version: Play My Last 7 Ak Hands W/ Me.
I'll take a quick shot. This is full ring, right? Yeah...AK kinda suks sometimes.
1) Easy fold. Definitely atleast one PP.
2) Easy call. Probably like KK or QQ and he's hoping you don't have A. If he somehow hit a set, so be it. Most poeple would slowdown if they hit big.
3) Fold. limp reraise, either AA or another PP pretending to be AA.
4) Hmm....I don't know. Are you suited? Could be QQ and you could take a flop hoping to hit AK or flush draw if you are suited, but you don't make much money if it hits. And if he has AA,KK you're kinda screwed. I guess fold?? You could push if ya feeling frisky. QQ might fold, but maybe not in 25/50. I just had a QQ hand like that in full ring where I limped with QQ, MP raised to 3x, I raised to 12x, he pushed, and I folded. So maybe push or fold?? Do you have immediate pot odds to hit an A/K? Like I said, I don't know....
5) Sounds good. Hopefully no AA or KK, but you are screwed anyways if thats the case.
6) LAG with 25% PF? I'm confused. Isn't 25% tight? I don't play much full-ring though. I say call though since it is less than half a buy in. Shortstacks push with all sorts of crap.
7) I am not sure how wild this table is(seems aggressive from your post). But it seems either you will win a small pot if he has an underpair(JJ) or you are ****ed if he as AA or QQ which is more likely. I don't have a good line here. I guess I would check. If he checks probably QQ or JJ so be prepared to play a small pot. Mabye check-call whole way or bet turn/check river?. If he bets, maybe check-raise. If he reraises, fold, and if he smooth calls then well...you don't know much more... I think you really need more of a read to play this one right. I am just throwing some thoughts out there.
In general, if you are getting reraised alot, you might want to raise with AK less when in early pos cause it is a ***** to play OOP. Especially if it is offsuit. Atleast when it is suited your hand is concealed when you hit the flush ,but most people will fold if you hit your Ace. I know people say you loose value when you limp good hands like AK, but sometimes I feel you are just telling people what you have and you are better off going for a small pot. At the same time definitely raise if your opponents are tight, passive, or both.

1. Fold face off.
2. I think we call. He probably has QQ or AK as well.
3. Fold. You're obviously against a pckt pair, and very likely a slowplayed AA/KK.
4. If you think the other limper will call, fold. If not, call.
5. I like the line. I hope he didn't check behind and hit a set on the turn.
6. Easy call.
7. Fold, we're oop and likely behind preflop.

-Very weird. 77 or 99 thinks it's good enough here to raise to $10? I'm calling just because AK vs AA is pretty rare.

4) 2 Limpers, i raise to $3 on the button. limper calls, MP1 raises to $12.
- You sure get re-raised a lot. $12 is a bit much. I think I will call up to a $6 raise, fold to everything else.

I was just thinking again on this one. My first thought was check-raise-push was fine and most people seem to agree. But when I think about it again, I wonder if we are only being called by better hands. An underpair is certainly folding and may not even bet this flop. AQ might even fold as it looks like you hit a set. If he somehow flopped AA or KK, we are pretty screwed and will likely get all our money in, but is there a way to maximize against an underpair/AQ and minimize against AA/KK?
I don't have a good answer to this, but I feel we do not need to worry about him drawing out on us, so pushing is a bit extreme. *Maybe* we can check-call flop/turn. Bet River. He might slowplay AA/KK saving money. It is likely he will check turn with QQ though and may fold on river so we may not win more against QQ this way. Or maybe we C/R but not all-in.(the dreaded min C/R?)
Just some thoughts.
