All in TPTK

Hi,

I've one a few AI's recently with TPTK - 2 i pushed and 1 i called. I read somewhere that TPTK is not an AI. Do you agree considering that this is £10 NL??

cheers

Stack sizes. Position. Reads. Depends, depends, and depends

Sure thing,

I'm full stacked, opponent full stacked. I read him as typical low limit checker/chaser/bluffer (all low limit players are unreadable??????)

I raised AKo bbx5 from MP1 - get 1 caller - Flop comes 59K rainbow:
now theres 2 scenarios:
villain pushes $10 - I call
villain bets 1/2 or pot - I push $10


That's the usuall scenario, her's one i managed to save (split this pot).

with the pot size on the hand shown, you probably aren't ever going to get away from this hand unless you fold to the raise which has to be too weak. That being the case, a shove may be the best play on the flop. You may have even gotten the AK to fold.

Usually it's the pot odds that indicate the correct path.

In low levels and oftentime in turney situations TPTK is good enough to risk your stack on, but as usual, it depends

Villain is a loose passive uber-calling station - I have lost about $20 to him when he just called down my semi-bluffs and I am just waiting for a chance to own him.
