AK Preflop

[jezza777]

LOL- I thought you had some funky tracker that showed folded hands!!   he has a monster here prob as he is not scared of the flush card then Ax H is a good shout A lot of internet players make overbets with the nuts and get them called cos they are suspicious.

yep, missed the hearts on board - defo nut flush made then - prob something like AJ/Q - adds up - bit of a loose call on flop but he has the overcards and flush draw and the only hands he's not beating are the AA/KK etc... all makes sense....

I would flat call for several reasons.

1) You do not have enough information about this player or the BB.

2) If you reraise say making it 25 to go there may be a pot of 50 pre flop. Now you aren't very deep stacked compared to the pot - and if you hit top pair it's very hard to get away from if you are up against a very big hand.

3) You are almost heads up anyway so there is no need to drive players out.

4) You don't really want a decision for all of your chips pre flop. By raising you are giving the opponent the opportunity to put you under the pressure. At this level of cash game people will move in with JJ QQ etc, do you really fancy a call with AK?

5) If you do hit a very large flop such as 10 J Q, your hand is disguised much better. You are more likely to be paid off.
