I guess I'll start with preflop, I wasn't playing on my normal computer so I don't have stats but the villain seemed TAGish and was multitabling.
200NL, $300 effective. Villain opens to $8 in MP, CO calls and I make it $34 OTB with A:club: K:club:. Folds around and villain 4bets to $60. The CO folds and action's on me. I need 19% equity to call and against a range of AA/KK only pokerstove tells me my equity is 23%. Should I call?
doesn't pokerstove equate your equity to seeing all 5 cards though
Oh I dunno, that would make sense I guess. Anyone know?
I think this could just be a frustrating fold, reverse implied odds IMO. You going to ever be comfortable geting the money in on a Axx or Kxx board really?
Shove wtf?
wtf at "shove wtf"
you are squeezing so he doesnt have to have AA KK here, stick it in
alot of times u guys have te same hand
Well you need to call 26/131=19.8%.. but you can only really compare that with your equity if it would be allin by then. Here you have $240 left to play for so the equity calculation becomes a lot more complicated. If you intend to go allin anyway no matter what vs his range of AA-KK then you'll need more than 266/611=43.5% equity..Quote:

Then, on all other streets, a 4-bet means something different. But there it makes sense to me.
lots of 3 and 4 light betting if its party@200nl so i shove and get called by 88 ftw.
Standard shove with 100BBs but with 150BBs?
Maybe i read way too much into bet sizing but i like a fold.
huh, it could go either way imo. I feel like that size is more likely a weaker hand.Quote:

Anyways due to my super poker skillz I chose the even more +EV line of calling.
Flop: A:diamond: K:heart: 5:club: Pot: $130
He leads for $80, What it do?
you're going broke, but let him put the money in

Here's a funny one, call, check behind on turn and shove river regardless of whether he bets or checks..Quote:

That flop sucks, because now Kings have to be taken into account. I don't think he would have CBet there with QQ-JJ, so at best you're splitting even to another AK or going broke.
That's the best reason to get the $ in preflop, if you run into Aces or Kings, you run into Aces or Kings, but at least you put the pressure on him to drop his AK instead of drop your AK and you may even get them to drop their QQ-JJ.
I hate "LOL WTF SHOVE" arguments, but that hand doesn't have the EV it needs to see the flop against a range of AA-JJ + AK, so you really need to make a 5 card decision or fold the hand, and there's no reason to fold that hand in a cash game with out a read.
why are we calling preflop with no plan.
if we dont fold preflop were committed to anything we catch.
there's really only so many routes to take with this hand...
a) fold.
b) push.
c) call.
i) fold whiffed flop
ii) possibly bet if checked to or check for free card
iii) if you hit you stack off.
If you hit your draw, you push.
omg what happened?
you pray for running clubs. you have no choice but to stack off...i dont care when. wait, im sorry..........WHY STOP CALLING NOW? ;)Quote:

There are much worse places to go broke with AK. I love having an A & K on the flop. Chances he has both of the outstanding A's or K's = not goot. I play passive to get QQ or JJ to put another bet in on the river.
pf, call is good.
postflop, spenda's line is twtg.
I've decided I should have folded to this guy preflop. That was the biggest mistake. Once I get to the flop I have to get AI. I think his 4bet range is squarely AA/KK.
One of the reasons this is a great place to 4-bet for him.Quote:

Well considering that you think he always has AA or KK here... a bluffQuote:

the only thing 100% clear about this hand is that u should never be calling preflop
He no problem. I'm basing my decision that folding is best on information that I didn't include in my post. I mean this table wasn't playing all aggro. like your average FT/Stars 100NL table and the guy isn't a reg and blah blah which leads me to believe that he isn't 4bet 'bluffing'. Under the game conditions that you are assuming I agree that it's a standard shove.Quote:
