AKo in the SB ( Not a good flop )

    Default AKo in the SB ( Not a good flop )

    This guy was impossible to get a read on. I only saw him play a few hands, in these hands he won massive pots of the same guy who was ridiculously bad at bluffing. Every time he won a hand like that, he sat out for quite some time before rejoining and repeating the process. The impression I got from him was he didn't play OOP and was generally TAG in his play.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (6 handed) - PokerStars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    Button ($2.09)
    Hero (SB) ($4.33)
    BB ($6.29)
    UTG ($5.20)
    MP ($4.18)
    CO ($3.18)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with A, K
    4 folds, Hero bets $0.06, BB calls $0.04

    Flop: ($0.12) Q, 10, A (2 players)
    Hero bets $0.07, BB raises to $0.26, Hero calls $0.19

    Turn: ($0.64) 9 (2 players)
    Hero checks, BB bets $0.22, Hero ???

    I am stuck here. I hate that flop and always seem to find myself in these situations. Is he drawing? Does he have me beat?

    feelin' allright
    What did he show when he raked those big pots?

    edit: bet bigger when bvb and opening from the sb...something like 4 - 5bb. it gives him worse odds to call

    His turn sizing makes me want to raise.

    He was pretty tight, I don't think he showed a card under 10? Minimum he went to showdown with was a straight.

    lol just get money in somehow if you don't 3b flop then raise turn. if you're not going to post better reads then you can't really expect better analysis

    What do you want me to post in my reads and I will try my best to make you happy.

    3 bet that flop? Surely that is the wrong move with only TPTK considering his raise size?

    you've only seen him play a few hands so you're read shouldn't be that he's generally tag. what range do you think a random at 2nl raises flop with?

    It's a general assumption based on the few hands he had played.

    I think it depends on their position.

    After reviewing this hand again, I'm with newfish and ong. OTT raise to about $1.10 and call a shove. Even blondes can be taught.
    Still, raise bigger pf.

    maaaaaaaaaaate
    i dont like 3betting flop this deep and i dont really like check/raising turn very much either. just because he bet small doesn't mean he continues vs a C/R with a weak range, and there are heaps of two pairs/straights he can show up with here.

    Turn: ($0.64) 9 (2 players)
    Hero checks, BB bets $0.22, Hero calls $0.22

    River: ($1.08) Q (2 players)
    Hero checks, BB bets $0.30, Hero calls $0.30

    Total pot: $1.68

    He had flopped a straight, KJs.
