I thought bet/ shove would be a better way of getting chips in than c/r and I have so much equity here that this is standard, right? I should have reraised pre, especially with the CO calling... I know that.

Villain is 11/8/2

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (8 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

SB ($36.30)
Hero ($46.85)
UTG ($58.40)
UTG+1 ($10.20)
MP1 ($50)
MP2 ($49.50)
CO ($26)
Button ($48.50)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A, K.
UTG raises to $1.5, 3 folds, CO calls $1.50, 2 folds, Hero calls $1.

Flop: ($4.75) 5, 3, 4 (3 players)
Hero bets $3.5, UTG raises to $12, CO folds, Hero raises to $45.35

 Random thought: Could we stand a fold here preflop if this was 10-handed?

I agree to reraise preflop.

I think I prefer a bet/raise ai here to a check/raise. When we lead this flop, we provoke raises to the $10-13 range. This is more than we get out of non-pair hands that give up when we check/raise.

Also, the only hands we're behind on the flop are KQ of clubs and AA. Another reason I like the bet/3bet line is that it seems we get more fold equity against AA.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.
