10NL, AK facing turn min-raise

Results 1 to 10 of 10
  1. #1

    Default 10NL, AK facing turn min-raise

    Villain is 30/20/2 over 54 hands with a 3-bet of 10%, 2 out of 20 opportunities.

    When I bet the turn big, I'm committed but the small turn raise is weird. I'm not sure what he can have, but I have AK on an A-high flop in a 3-bet pot. Go with it? Or is this a Baluga situation?

    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (6 handed) - Full Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    saw flop

    CO ($13.86)
    Button ($1.41)
    SB ($12.04)
    BB ($14.70)
    UTG ($8.63)
    Hero (MP) ($41.53)

    Preflop: Hero is MP with K, A
    1 fold, Hero bets $0.30, 3 folds, BB raises to $0.95, Hero calls $0.65

    Flop: ($1.95) 6, A, 8 (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $1, BB calls $1

    Turn: ($3.95) 10 (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $3, BB raises to $6.50, Hero ?

    I prob just go for it because likely he is aggressive, but you have shouldnso much strength. Hand sample is small I prob go for it. He is repping so thin but this 10 nl meh. I actually don't really know the answer. Try putting him on range that should help. I just don't know if he 3 bets you with TT or 88 and if he will take such weird line AQ. Is he really going 3 bet you with a 97s and wait to raise t turn.


    Only hands that make sense are two pairs A6 A8. Maybe this is a fold.

    the c/c, c/r line is really scary, but there's really only one value hand combo he can have, and we're deep, totally confused

    I think two pairs are in his range we have some equity vs those.

    what range are you putting him on after he calls your flop bet?

    you sorta have to fold unless you're willing to play for stacks, and if you want to play for stacks then it's turn 3b time for suckout equity the times you're behind and to get the money in now vs the QKcc/QJcc in his range

    i think it's less likely he's 3-betting light cuz i'm in mp so if he's not bluffing he should have AA here, but it's hard to give him credit for that, maybe AK. for a 10nl'er that would be a pretty bold bluff

    Im trying to understand why we bet the turn knowing we are WA/WB (unlikely WB) and were calling a river bet on 90% of the deck.
    Surely if we bet the turn its with the plan of bet/folding?

    Interesting hand.

    I'm fairly new to poker, and this is the type of hand i often have trouble with. Bear with me when I ask these dumb-ass questions.

    Firstly, is our flop bet a bit small here? I would have thought $1.30-$1.50?

    Secondly, for those more versed in 3-betting ranges than myself, are TT/AT/88 in a 30/20 villain's possible 3-betting range here?

    Unless villain is a complete donk, I tend to fold these spots on the turn... but I can be a bit nitty...

    Yeah, this should be a bet/fold like you guys said. My mind went 'chaching' and turned off, bad play on my part.
