Title: AK missed flop, get it in? Post by: Graham C on June 25, 2009, 09:41:33 PM Is it generally standard to ship it in with AK on a missed, not too dangerous board?
For example mid comp, Board Jc 4d 9s If you check and then are bet into, are you getting it in with AK here? I seem to be being called a lot at the moment with AK like this, but I'd personally be laying it down now. Am I being too nitty or is laying down the right thing? tyvm Title: Re: AK missed flop, get it in? Post by: gatso on June 25, 2009, 10:13:16 PM err, depends on about a million things

Blinds 250/500/antes Me, about 6k now, having just doubled him up, him about 5k. Folds to him in the small blind, he min raises to 1000, I call with J9 green. Flop, J high (as above) he min bets the 500, I shove for the rest, he calls with ace high. This isn't a thinly disguised bad beat btw, it seems to be happening a lot that people are calling me for their entire stack with AK on a missed board. Reason I shoved - last time it was my bb, folds to him on the small blind, he calls (200/400 then). He was playing 2.8k, I was on 9ish. I raise it to 2.4k and he shoves for the 400 extra - he's got JTo and hits a ten - fair enough. This time I figure that I have actually top pair here, I'm shoving to protect it, if I'm beat, I'm beat. What I can't understand or work out is why a) in the first hand (JT) if he was going to lump it in with shit, then why didn't he just shove/raise preflop? It's not like he was trapping, but he was short, so why not just get it in and hope I call or at least steal the blinds. The AK hand, why lead out for a min bet? It wasn't even c-bet amount, he's asking to either be flat called or shoved on. He hasn't got a hand yet that he wants people to call or shove with. With ace high, I generally either try to take it with a cbet or give up if someone is shoving strength. Is my thinking wrong? |
