AK in the blinds. It's 3-bet before it gets to me (200NL 6m)

Postby LuparFiend » Mon Jul 23, 2007 9:09 am

UTG is way loose/aggressive. He is running at 55/25. The button is running at 23/16.

I think UTG range is really wide here. I also think that button's range is fairly wide too, as he probably is isolating the maniac.

If I flat call, more than likely the maniac comes along and we have a 3-way pot with me having AK. That doesn't seem like a smart play (or would it?)

What to do?



Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $1/$2 Blinds - 6 Players - (http://www.legopoker.com/hh)

SB: $182.45
Hero (BB): $253.85
UTG: $206.00
MP: $235.45
CO: $215.85
BTN: $553.00

Preflop: Hero is dealt [Ks] [Ah] (6 Players)
UTG raises to $7.00, 2 folds, BTN raises to $24.00, SB folds, Hero ???

The $24 3-bet is standard at Full Tilt, because that is what you get when you hit the bet pot button. Blinds [$1+2$] + $7 +$24 = $34. UTG would have to call $17 into $34 WHICH = 2:1

Poker is silly.

It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.

Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.

I ended up raising to $80

UTG Folded, but Button flat called.

Flop was [7d] [7s] [Qc]

$168 in the pot. I have $174 behind and the action is on me.

What do I do now?

What should I narrow down his range to now? JJ+ and AK?

If I push:
- AA: Calls
- KK: I could maybe get KK to fold
- QQ obviously QQ calls
- JJ probably folds
- AK folds

Should I check and see what he does?

Check again?
