Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 5699232, member: 397965"] Preflop I think, 4-betting AK is fine, and your size is also fine for a 4-bet. They typically dont need to be as large as a 3-bet. I am probably not intending to get it in for 200BB, but its ok to 4-bet AK and then fold to a 5-bet. If they only 5-bet KK+, then the 5-bet will be very rare because of your blockers. Also this is 2NL, so you can definitely 4-bet lighter for value, which this hand perfectly illustrate. As for CO and his T9s, I am ok with 3-betting this hand to have some bluffs in my 3-betting range, but when he gets 4-bet, he should just let it go. Calling a 4-bet OOP with a suited connector like this is a losing play, even with the extra stack depth. If he was in position, it would be a little bit better. Flop Perfectly fine C-bet from AK, even though against better players we might opt for a bit of pot control, because its difficult to see, which hands we get 3 streets of value from in a 4-bet pot. But at 2NL, where the opponent is probably bad, sure go ahead and bet for value. As for CO and his T9s, he should once again just fold. And this is the whole issue with calling preflop. He flopped a junky draw, so he cant profitably check-call out of position. But he cant profitably check-raise either, because your range is just so super strong. Turn Against a better player we might need to slow down now, if we bet the flop, because once again there are not many hands, he can even have, that will pay us all three streets. But at 2NL, sure bet again. As for CO and his T9s, he picked up a flushdraw and more straight outs as well, so other than binking his gutshot, this was just about as good, as it gets. But he likely still dont have any fold equity, so check-calling is pretty much his only play to make here. River Co misses and tries the good old donk bet. I agree, that this is a very bad play, since hands like AA, KK and AK will now like the board even more, and these hands are the majority of your range. He need to just give up and check-fold, as he should already have done preflop. As for AK you have a very easy call. If he has one of the few hands, that beat you, like JJ or QTs, then god bless him. Nice hand sir, now let us play the next one. Fortunately for you he had a busted draw, and you got absolutely max value from your hand. [/QUOTE]
