I personally think a jamming range from BB in this spot would be 88 through QQ & AJs+ as most other hands could call & see a flop i.e. suited connectors, suited broadways & suited Ax - however, that's just my opinion ;-)

weak line you took here & got very lucky on the turn, avoid the variance by checking this flop as you will be massively behind a high percentage of the time. However, as played KJo is a clear fold on the river IMO

very easy fold to avoid the obvious variance ;-)

flatting pre is best imo...if you 3bet he can flat IP and use his positional advantage when deep stacked...he can also 4bet bluff you off the best hand

flat the turn and bet small on the river...I don't think she's ever checking the river with a boat as she could be losing any value...IMO

yeah I'd agree with the others here...I'd be raising to at least 3600 pre...as it looks even the draws would have decent equity vs JJ

standard play with the effective blinds being 31bb...he should be 2 betting any decent pair or ace pre imo

Hmm... Well, I like raising tbh. We're in position, with a very good hand that dominates a whole bunch of stuff villain can be raising with and can even call with, and I'd rather raise and try to take the pot heads up with this hand rather than call and see a flop 4/5 ways. If I'm in position, I do make it smaller, to encourage calls from those hands that we dominate. After all, even if we do get called and miss, we've still ended up playing a bloated pot, heads up, in position and with the betting lead, which is always a winning situation for us.

As it is, I'm with Dave here. Calling can't be bad, and we're hardly crippled, still got loads of play left. We're flipping a reasonable amount of the time, ahead sometimes, way behind rarely, and we're absolutely fine to take these odds here. The fact that there is no A or K on the board by the river is irrelevant, what's important is that we've made decisions that will win for us in the long run. I mean, player dependant you can fold, but since we haven't been given any reads I'm sorta assuming there's nothing special about the villain to make us want to.

Totally agree...think I just hate losing ha ha

The guy was limp calling quite often and also noticed he liked to raise AJ type hands after early limps so felt my AK plays well Vs his range

I call...no A or K & I'm crippled

You'd still have 50BB left if you lost!

Idk seems OK to me, although I think with 50BB people might be a lot tighter with this shove, doubt people show up with AQ so it's usually a flip or maybe worse...

Are you IP? Flatting the 1600 can be cool because there is a lot of dominated Aces and Kings out there (AJ, KQ etc) and my experience of these comps is you'll do pretty well postflop on the right boards against those hands.

Raising can't really be a mistake though, calling the shove after the 3bet can't really be either 15k to win 44~

Don't really like to flat as I feel I'm losing value because if an A flops he may well shut down with any pair or KQ type hand...got to admit I hate AK...so over rated lol on reflection hated calling but with almost 3/1 pot odds felt I had no choice :-(

Blind 200/400 50 Ante

Villain 21k
Hero 36k

Villain raises 1600 after 2 limps
Hero 3bets 5200 (after reflection I hate my sizing) would have preferred something more like 3900-4100ish

Villain tanks for about a minute and shoves

I call...no A or K & I'm crippled

Opinions please??

Call flop. You definitely do want to see more cards. Raising only works if you plan on 3 barrelling and making him fold an over pair.

After analysing the hand this is what I thought....however, I saw this player call with an over pair after 2  all ins which I would have folded personally...

I would have pushed the turn after calling another bet I feel...I still think he calls...so probably would have ended the same way...

Thanks for the advice

50p?? Confused, never heard that term before lol

Opinions please....could I have played this any different???

tbh I probably flat his flop bet and re-assess the turn...when he leads it can mean a number of things imo:

1. probe bet to see how good his Qx or under pair is
2. combo straight/flush draw trying to get a cheap turn
3. or strong made hand like a set hoping for your re-raise

there aren't too many scare cards that can come that would make your hand second best

once he's 4 bet shoved the flop it's either a flush draw or set for me but more likely to be a set due to you having the  

their comments about you 3 betting pre flop shows that they have been paying attention to how you've been playing (very conservative by the sounds of it) knowing this, you could be the target of a bluff thinking that they can get you to fold a strong hand like   ,   or     type of hand

for me this is a close one and I'm a feel type of player so would have had to be involved to have any inclination of where I was in the hand

I may fold as I have lots of chips left and plenty of play.....how did the hand play out?

let me know what you think?
