Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6182583, member: 397965"] Preflop I kind of think, calling is the worst of all three options here. Its creates an awkward situation, where we are out of position with a very low SPR, and we are only really happy, if we flop a set. On low boards like this we have reverse implied odds against AA and KK, and we are probably not getting a ton of value from worse. And on boards with an A or K, we probably just end up giving up and not getting to showdown. So I would either fold or jam here, and if he is really on the nitty side perhaps not even always 4-betting AK, then folding is fine. It might be slightly exploitable, but a nitty 5NL players is not going to know how to exploit you. There are lots of players at these stakes, where a 4-bet or 5-bet is almost always KK or AA. And then we can just fold, unless we have one of those hands ourselfes. But if we are not sure, then just get it in now and be done. If he has it, he has it, and if he actually fold a hand like AK to a 5-bet, thats a great result for us. Flop As played I would also check-jam now. I dont think, check-calling induce a lot of bluffs, and with around a half pot sized bet left, he is getting close to correct odds to call with AK. So we dont actually even care, if he call or fold with that hand. Whereas if we check-call, we are realistically just giving AK two free cards to draw out on us. Of course we are always getting snapped by KK, AA and AK of spades, and he probably rarely have JJ or TT. But if we think, he range is massively weighted towards KK and AA, and that he would check back AK on a flop like this, then I would much rather have folded preflop. Because then we are really only hoping to flop a set, and if we are only hoping to flop a set, there is no real difference between 22 and QQ. [/QUOTE]
