AK early.

[WotRTheChances]

This could be really trivial, but would like views please.

£300 deepstack at the weekend.

50/100, I raise to 300 from utg+1. Guy two to my right calls. Rana Gurnam? Welsh guy, 50ish maybe. (I'm fairly sure it's him) 3 bets to 1700 from mid position.

Only been playing 5 mins, and never really played with him before. Just before this hand I 3 bet AA from an early open of 250 to 600 and he peeled ak from the small blind, and check called turn and river bets on a king high board.

I'm playing 31k. He has around 26k.

What's best to do?

Given only the info bolded i'd fold and wouldn't think it's that close, but anything to show he could be doing this any wider than QQ+, AK then i'd be peeling and be v.happy about it.

Nah. It was on my first table. I got moved within a couple of hands to your table.

We really 4 bet/ get 300 bigs in here?

[celtic]

Probably agree if he's playing that strategy above, but as far as I know, he's not. He's just sat down. Peeled a 3bet with ak, and check called 2 streets.

A few hands later, with no dc game started as far as I know, is he gonna start going ballistic win any 2 here?

obv getting in 300bb with no pair is going to be a mistake

You make it sound so clinical.


I think if you're this big and someone is looking to bash you up then you have a pretty good hand to defend with. AK flops fairly well this deep even OOP because we are so deep. If you flop a pair then you can just let him take the lead and hopefully barrel you because he thinks A or K high boards are going to be difficult for you to defend.

Anyway, this hand was nailed on the first page. Peel pre usually but vs some nittier people who have a clue I prob just fold.

I'd nearly always fold this pre except like i say when i just turn over a king and rip it in for the rofl's

Read the rest of the thread, earlier I said just fold pre because it's not a great spot and then lil dave piped up and said that the guy 3betting can be pretty mental (he implied it anyway).

Is this a level? You fold AK pre to average punter?

absolutely. he went 300-1700.

[The Squid]

OK. But to normal sizing you never fold right?

no, no never.

AKsuited, still folding despite monster sizing?

finding it difficult to fold, if 30k stacks 3200-fold? probably terrible.
