Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6557619, member: 397965"] Preflop With stacks this deep a 2,5BB open raise is pretty small. But its not the end of the world, and sometimes I do this myself due to not paying attention while multitabling. The min 3-bet from BTN is fishy, and especially when BB has cold called, I would 4-bet AKs rather than just call and take a 3-way flop. Of course we are never folding any hand, which was good enough to open, getting like 9:1. Flop The weirdness in the hand continues, because now BB leads out AKA a "donk bet", and he does this on a A high board, which tend to favour the preflop aggressor. He leads for almost 80% pot, and I dont think, there is any play here other than call. Folding is definitely to tight, and raising would be an overplay. Even though you flopped top pair, this is not the greatest flop for AK, since you lose to AJ, AT, KQ, JJ and TT, which are all hands, both opponents can easily have. If BTN raise, and BB gives action, I would strongly consider folding. But luckily BTN folds. Turn The J pairs, and now BB checks to you. Now its time to do some hand reading and think about, what kind of hands lead the flop on this board into two opponents and then check on a board pairing card. And I think, boats make sense as a trap. Could also be AT, since the hand got counterfeited. Or a flushdraw, which slow down because of the paired board. Could also be AQ or weak AX, but if he is a good player, its difficult to see, why he would lead those hands on the flop. I dont think, he has trips very often, because leading with for instance KJ or QJ would be pretty weird. But all in all I dont see a ton of value in betting here, so I am ok checking back and trying to get to a cheap showdown. River The flushdraw comes in, and he check again. Now the question is, if he is tricky enough to take this line with a boat or rivered flush trying to check-raise us. I dont hate checking back and getting to a cheap showdown here, but I would not hate putting out a small bet for value either basically targeting weaker AX. You do need to have the discipline to bet-fold though, because if he check-raise you, I dont see, how that is ever a bluff. And of course its also not a value hand, that you beat. [/QUOTE]
