Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6958222, member: 397965"] Preflop I agree with the previous reply, that we dont always have to 4-bet here. Its ok to just call with AKo and strengthen our calling range. In that way now its suddenly us, who sometimes "cooler" him on a A high board rather than the opposite. Flop I guess, the small C-bet is fine, but when he raise, I am done with the hand. You need to realise around 20% equity to continue, and you dont have that, unless you have two free overcards and get to see both the turn and the river. Which is a best case scenario, that will almost never happen. I dont agree, that this is likely to be a bluff. You hold As making it less likely, he is raising a flushdraw, and he can certainly play JJ or QQ this way, including the tanking preflop and raising the flop "for protection". Turn Now he check back, and this could mean a number of things. It could be a draw wanting to see the last card for free, but it could also be QQ or JJ being a little scared of trips or just realising, there is only one bet left, so why not delay it to the river. River I just dont see, which better hand he arrive with here, that is now going to fold? JJ just made top boat, and QQ is not scared of the J and will likely find a hero call, since.... well.... it still beat AK. So for me this is a check-fold spot, but I would have folded already on the flop, or not made the 4-bet preflop. Conclusion I think, this is a prime example of overplaying AK. Its a good hand preflop, because it has blockers to AA and KK and is ahead of anything but pocket pairs. But when we get action and whiff completely, we have to let it go at some point. [/QUOTE]
