interesting hand

[SuuPRlim]

i would like to call the flop (and would probably end up doing so as i'm not very good) but think raising is better as it makes the hand much easier to play.
if he is a good reg, calling the flop will lead to tough full stack decisions later in the hand and you're unlikely to win a lot when a head, but will lost a lot when be hind.
if i did call i would probably want to check/fold or bet/fold the turn

I certainly dont think we can c/c the flop and c/f the turn, villain will most likely be betting again with  / Xh (although this is prolly limitied to  ) although i can see your point.

Seems like two really strong ranges (both that include few/nearly no bluffs) happen to be colliding but even that being said I still dont think we can fold at any point really.....

interesting. though i would expect him to not bet aqhh so i've changed my mind and think call flop.

yh, I mean persoanlly I have no idea what''s the best flop line although I suspect that it might be the difference between calling and raising might be completely negligible

Really, I mean really? you have AK and flop is AKx with 3 h's and you asking advice - bejebus ICM has a lot to answer for.

ok, LOL at all of this.

firstly there are two hearts, not three

secondly this is a cash game so we dont need to be too "concerned" with ICM.

thirdly, if you think that the spot is as simple as "we have AK and the flop is AKx" then you are hugely missing the point of alex's post.

and finally, he hasn't posted this hand because he "wants your advice" he's posted in because theoretically its a interesting/different spot and will spark off some good discussion.
