    Default AK vs A5 Vs KQ AKa Nightmare of 5th street

    Hey guys and girls,

    Thanks for checking in on my post tonight i want to post a hand that occurred yesterday and ask for anyone/everyone's response.
    Please enlighten me with constructive criticism on your thoughts and suggestions.

    The hh will be below but let me explain a couple of conditions:

    My image was tight/nit for me at this table. PFr 19-20 and 3 bet of about 4-5%
    Table avg vpip was +47 vpip average :O, The 2 players that went ALL in with me had
    Vpip of 70 and cc of about 60.

    History-> I had been there for about 100 hands or close to it def had a good feel for the hands they like to play and how far they would be willing to go with them.
    They pretty much called anything that moved even an all in.

    Oppt psychology-> This opponent triplequeens experienced a lot of bad beats going from $180 stack to ~$131 in less than 10 minutes
    and therefore went from pass fish to super over agg maniac. He would be showing down mid pair hands and betting them or just trying to bet with complete air most of the time
    or A high.

    *Personally i feel like i made a good decision here and experienced bad variance.
    Which is pretty typical in poker, But there is a haunting sight in my mind that this might be a bad play i could continue to make in my future and lose in my future as well.*

    I don't want to be penalized for the same mistakes over and over until i go broke for example exactly what happened to me vs the fish with A5 hitting his 5 on river for an epic 3 outer.
    I didn't go broke but I did lose a really nice stack i worked over 300 hands to get up $20 so that was hurtful as well all the hard work that turned to turd.

    My question to you all is how if anyway would you of run this hand different to
    max your value from this fish with a highly ranked and powerful hand for you in top 5% (Any PP TT+ and ANy Ak-AQ both s/os)?

    I am suggesting the top 5% because that is my normal 3bet/3bet call if super loose overaggressive opponents starts pushing me around.
    IT would be much appreciated to discuss this hand since it has been constantly in the back of my mind for two days now.


    Here is the scene from "nightmare on 5th street",

    Righton

    P.s. If this is too long of a post i am sorry just wanted to get all the details out of the way to aid you all in helping me.

    You put your money in as a 73% favorite. You won the hand. Results don't matter.

    If you need to ask this, you should probably not be playing 50NL.

    edit: what is the logic behind your 11.5bb raise preflop?

    I'm sorry but I don't understand your question. But you played it fine. I'm guessing the top 5% is fine too played like this.

    Don't be results oriented.

    soaking up ethanol, moving on up
    read about bankroll management if you haven't already

    move down in stakes
    save yourself some money
    you're probably not good enough to beat 50nl, you may not be good enough to beat 5nl (i may be absolutely wrong, but it's nice to beat micro-stakes as a first online poker step)
