I was being nice for a change, don't worry it won't last

ta.


Just out of interest, the hand where I never recovered from was a as follows.


I had 3800 in th sb. Dealt AK off suit.

Button was nothingatall - agressive - he had 1900

blinds 15/30. He makes it 90.

I decide to try and trap him and flatcall.

flop comes 56K all clubs. I have no clubs.

I bet a tad above the pot, he raises. I move all-in. He holds trip 5s and doubles up.

I didn't put him on a set. Thought he either flat call or reraise more preflop with 5s or 6s. I thought he had the ace of clubs or KQ/KJ, or maybe even nowt.

Any thoughts on this hand? Opinions would be much appreciated.

Hi snoop, my opinion on the hand is as follows:

I re-raise it up pre-flop with AKo in sb, to around 270, 300. Few reasons, a) you say you try to trap him, if he's button raising steal 45 in chips then its quite worthless, maybe AJ - Axs are the only hands u like to trap. b) he's likely to throw suited connectors in this spot, and depending on the player low pocket pairs.

With the flop the way it comes, there are varying ways to play this hand. Betting out is fine, but when he raises, I dont feel he particularly has just a high club, so you can fold (bet to see where you are works), and moving over the top of the raise, certainly doesnt look like your holding a flush. I may check-raise him here, try representing the flush but you have top pair top kicker, and if he moves all in, easy fold.

Obviously checking deems to be giving him a free card, but he might also be giving you a free card. If another club falls you can bet it, see what he does (more than likely he'll just call with his set).


In short the hand is a very tricky one, but not one you need to lose all your chips on.(

Hi Wayneo. Good to see you on board. We've had some fun Ladbrokes banter on several occassions and it's always a good laugh.

The player was nothingatall and I 've always found him to be an agressive player. In fact, at that point of time he was raising a lot of hands. He was also calling the reraises.

I didn't bet preflop because I didn't want to raise, see him call and then miss the flop as I knew he wouldn't need to have much to reraise a bluff on the flop. Also, if I checked, he would no doubt bet and I still wouldn't know where I stood. That's why I decided to keep it cheap. What I should have done was raise a chunky amount preflop to let him  know I meant business. A definite mistake by me in hindsight.

Having said that, it's tricky to fold the AK once I hit my flop as, unless I think he's hit the flush, I have to deem myself to be ahead. Not an easy hand to fold. If I check and he bets (which he would have done), what would I do then. I think most people would decide that he didn't have the flush and reraise. By then I'd be pot virtually pot committed anyway and would find it hard to release if he raised again.

If he had him down as a less agressive player, I would have folded to the reraise on the flop. Not my normal play, but I believed that he would reraise me with many hands. I think the fact that he only raised a smallish amount instead of pushing all-in should have been an indicator that he had a strong hand.

Thx for the response. I think you're right. My mistake was not reraising preflop.
