Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6749816, member: 397965"] Preflop This is kind of an awkward spot facing an open and a 3-bet in front of you. If stacks were 100BB effective, then this is probably mostly a 4-bet or fold situation. But you are almost 400BB deep against SB and with position on him. That means you dont really want to stack off any hands preflop other than pocket aces, and for that reason I think, its fine to just call his 3-bet, also considering that he is 3-betting an UTG open, so he should be on a pretty strong range. Flop This is definitely not a raise, since if you get all the money in, you will usually be against one of the few hands, that beat you, which is mainly AA and KK. Its obviously not a fold either, since you flopped TPTK. Maybe it could be a raise, if he bet something really small like 25% pot, but he bet almost full pot, so he is building a very large pot already. Turn Pretty big brick and I think another easy call. River This is obviously a very large river bet for the stakes, but its not surpricing, that he made it, because he set it up with his sizing on the flop and turn. So really you should have anticipated this already on the earlier streets, and its basically a hand reading situation. Obviously you could be beat, but many of the hands, that potentially beat you, likely dont play this way. K3-K5, 54 or 44-55 most likely dont 3-bet pre. He might 3-bet QQ or KQs, but those hands dont bomb the flop and turn like this. Maybe KQs but definitely not QQ. So the only realistic hands, you lose to, are KK-AA and maybe 1 combo of KQs. Which is still no more than 5 combos. And then the question is, could he be doing this with another AK? If so thats 6 combos, that you chop with. And there is a busted flushdraw, which you dont block. So I think, this one is pretty close, and without reads I probably stick in the call. But I can also see the fold being reasonable, since many players at this level are very unbalanced in their bet sizing. And this guy is kind of screaming from the mountain top, that he has exactly pocket aces and want to get max value from top pair. [/QUOTE]
