My effort.

Hand 1 - Flop call is marginal with villain betting into you. Lots of outs though. On turn I wouldn't have done anything different. If you call it's unlikely he fires for a third time on river. Calling might get a small call out of him if he checks river.

Hand 2 - Raise PF. On turn, bet approx 3/4 pot.

Hand 3 - Call is ok. You have position.

Hand 4 - He's unlikely to fold to your 3bet. Here, out of position, I'd call and see the flop. I don't like getting it all in with AKo. What's he raising from MP1 that we beat? AQ possible, maybe AJ. Not a lot else.

[Sl4y3r]

Thanks for your respone ginozola. I will definatly be calling with the AK next time this comes up

[a500lbgorilla]

what? if you can't 3bet/call off with AKo, what hands can you? Especially vrs a shortstack.

Ginozola, i basically disagree with you everywhere.

Hand 1 is fine. Hand 2, If i checked preflop, i would lead this flop. Hand 3 is good. Calling is pretty bad. Hand 4 ship it!

1) I like to raise my draw here probably 70% of time. For the reason that your usually more likely to get paid when you hit it, plus building a bigger pot before any scare cards kill action. Plus your equity against his range is pretty huge.

2) I'd usually check cause I just hate playing AJ oop. But raisings pretty close. Like rilla said... Lead flop. Hands sorta played out weird though, you beat all tpgk hands, I call this down. You'll see a set often though.

3) Depending on how agro the guys actually been I'd 4bet for value, even looking to get it in Preflop. Due to the fact that your going to have to give up alot of flops where your still ahead. This is obviously quite a high variance play. I dont know if people are going to agree with me or not, but just something to think about
edit: I misread, been in position would lead me abit more towards calling but 4beting still is better. Having position makes the hand play out alot easier postflop. I'd bet 100% if checked to

4) SHIP, AK vs shortie is instacall

H3, calling pf is pretty bad or the calling his bet on the flop? Calling his bet is horrible on the flop, but would you do anything different preflop?

H4, he's got 34bb. I loosen up some because of this but I stick by asking what hands he does this we we're confident of being ahead. Does he do this we AQ-AT, KT+, QT+? I dunno, that's why I asked.

It depends on whether hes a good shortie or a bad shortie, the odd sized stack would suggest the latter. We're either flipping or dominating him. Unless he has aa-kk, which is unlikely. calling with ak here isn't good because he's going to shove every flop, and your going to be missing most. Getting it allin preflop is what we want.

And for h3, rilla will be referring to calling pf I can imagine.

Fair enough. I see your point about the bad spot on the flop. Thanks.

my thoughts exactly!!

[a500lbgorilla]

h3, I would always call preflop and fold the flop. I like shoving over calling honestly. And I'd just avoid both.

[a500lbgorilla]

hand 1, I may even put a big raise in on the flop. His leading range is likely all sets and weird pairs lower than a Q and lots of junk. If I had a hand of value, I'd want my opponent to think I can be raising flush draws and there are some reasons to raise here anyway, so I'd just do it.

AQo isn't ideal hand to call vrs a 3bet without history but with position post flop vrs a BB who raises too small, we have to defend. Otherwise, he can resteal our button steals all day long.
