Hi there, I played two hands with A-K, one in the SB and the other UTG+1.
Would like your advice on my play.

The first one is A-Ko in SB.

Preflop: Hero is in the SB with Ks Ad
3 folds, MP raises to 0.08, 4 folds, Hero calls 0.06, 1 fold.

Flop (0.20) Td 9d Kc
Hero bets 0.15, MP raises to 0.30, Hero calls 0.15.

Turn (0.80) 3d

How would you proceed further? Also, after calling the villain's raise from the SB preflop, would you have bet out on the flop or check-raised ?


This second hand was a quick one. I'd like to know how would you maximize your profit here?


Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with Kd As
1 fold, Hero raises to 0.12, 3 folds, Button calls 0.12, 2 folds.

Flop (0.30) 3d 6h Kh
Hero bets 0.22, 1 fold

Hero shows Kd As

Hero wins 0.52 with One pair, Kings


In the first hand, I called the raise made by the villain. In the second hand, I was the preflop raiser.
My question is, how would you play A-Ko out of position, on a made flop when you are the preflop raiser versus when you call a raise from another player.

Any advice would be appreciated!
