We miscommunicated. I was referring specifically to AK hand where you have air.
This is good advice against regulars.
I fold to his reraise w/out a read, easy. [/quote]
nope[/quote]
Your going to call his reraise on the flop after he called your preflop reraise and is now reraising your continuation? I...

MOUSIES!
:lol:
I put them on a strong but not enormous hand that's afraid of getting too committed and will probably fold if I pushed them hard enough.[/quote]
I think thats a strong read, but keep it...
I agree and on occasion I will open up the 3-bet range even more depending on the player.
One last thing, I could care less about villains odds. Maybe he is getting a good price, maybe he isn't. I know I'm going into the hand investing 10:1. Thats what I care about. I know villain...
Also, lets make it clear that I am not against big reraises (3X to 4X bet) at all. In fact, this is stronger poker in my opinion and more likely to give profit. Nonetheless, against set hunters, of...
I'm communicating poorly, I'm almost never laying down here. However, w/ an in-position check on the turn, I can frequently keep this pot manageable. If opponent check raises me or even calls a big...
You don't see the contradiction here?
nvm. We'll just have to agree to disagree.[/quote]
No, I don't. I'm saying I dont have a hand like AA or KK that pays off a set. I have a hand that only...
Well, we can disagree all day and probably will, but if your preflop minreraise is called by a pp and he does hit his set, the mistake is yours, not his. With 100bb at 200nl, if I raise my 99 to $10...
You'd be surprised how many people don't use tracker and more importantly HUD.
:clap:
I figure UTG+1 was coming along if he hadn't been given time to think.
Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG with A:club: A:heart:
Hero raises to $8, UTG+1 raises to $17, 2 folds, SB...
I think I would almost flip that. Better players can get away from a hand youwant to not give odds to the ones that will call, because even when they catch they lose, according to Sklansky...
Monsters don't minraise. If your goal is to isolate, pop it up to 3x<3-1/2x. I'm calling you all day with a pp here, and you're going to get more multi-way action than you really want from anyone...
I definitely call hand 2 and I would play it just like that straight through.
I agree. I tend to throw in weak raises against weaker players and more aggressive raises against better players. I'm happy getting their call and instafold after not hitting their set than get...
Honestly, for the most part I don't call enough in these situations to have a representative answer. I can barely think of a situation where this would be a deciding factor in online play.

Here are a couple of example where an A or K came on the flop.
Hand 1: Don't worry about the results on this hand, this is a great example of the 2 reasons it is good to play AK so strong...
Settle downskies people. If he doesnt 3-bet ever, than more power to you. Didnt mean to come off as arrogant. Back to the concept though, I think way to many people assume AA and KK for sure in...
I'm assuming you mean preflop. To play for set value.
This villain has got AA or KK here every time, so if I spike I'm getting a lot of his chips.[/quote]
Villain is 17/13. AK is easily in his...
Why did you call the flop bet?
how about when that happens dpe?[/quote]
Oops, sorry, just ran a filter on preflop play w/ AK and posted a few hands. Working now, but will run another filter tonight when I get home. I will get...
These are not all too big, but they are a few examples of playing AK aggressively.
