    Default SHould I pick this guy off here?

    No real read here on about the 2nd orbit at the table villian hasnt done anything to stand out in my mind yet.

    I am about am maybe 60% sure this is a stone cold bluff if I am last to act after this guy I am raising here usually but with 2 other guys behind me I didnt here. Should I still have tried to pick off his bluff?

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (10 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    MP2 ($23.35)
    MP3 ($20.85)
    CO ($23.10)
    Button ($22.75)
    Hero ($25.60)
    BB ($29.02)
    UTG ($43.05)
    UTG+1 ($24.15)
    UTG+2 ($24.80)
    MP1 ($31.55)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with A, K. Hero posts a blind of $0.10.
    UTG calls $0.25, 2 folds, MP1 calls $0.25, 2 folds, CO raises to $1, 1 fold, Hero (poster) calls $0.90, 1 fold, UTG calls $0.75, MP1 calls $0.75.

    Flop: ($4.25) 7, 5, 8 (4 players)
    Hero checks, UTG checks, MP1 checks, CO bets $3, Hero folds, UTG folds, MP1 folds.

    Final Pot: $7.25

    Not without a read. You may have to play 2 more streets OOP and wthout knowing how he responds to ck-raises or if he can raise/fold medium pairs, its just too risky.

    in a van by the river
    if he c/bets alot then this is a good place to reraise him although alot of people at 25 nl only bet when they have a hand and your out of position so if he calls your reraise your not in a good spot

    i'd 3bet him preflop big. AK has a lot of equity against almost every hand before the flop. Plus, you'll likely take it down on the flop even if he calls.

    too many people saw the flop for you to take it there.

    consider reraising preflop when lots of people are trying to see the flop

    Reraise preflop.

    I'm interested as to how he has a 60% chance of a bluff when you have little to no read. Is it truly this or are you just simply angry about folding AK.

    Bigred I say 60% because you cant be positive but I "knew" he was bluffing here.

    I need to start reraising AK preflop more I think.

    Ok at 25NL I have seen a lot of players make raises with a lot of limpers trying to steal the pot, I had seen him do this once before. The average 25NL person is usually raising more than 4X with AA-QQ from what I have seen so far. I put him on AK-9, KQ-J, 99-QQ and maybe a pocket pair.

    If he does hit his set here, I dont think hes going to bet out this strong here. ANd it just felt so god awful standard of a cont. bet.
