    Default AK vs somewhat tight, passive opponent

    First post. If I'm doing anything wrong (how i posted this hand, how i played this hand, etc.) let me know. Thanks ahead of time.

    The opponent hadn't shown down many hands, but he seemed somewhat tight, and passive.
    PREFLOP: {66+, 54s+ ATs, AJ+) Maybe a little wide for a seemingly tight opponent, but I just wanted to narrow it down as the play progressed.
    FLOP: {ATs, AJ+, AA, 77, JJ, KQs, QJs, T9s, 98s} I just included the gutshots because again the villain hadn't shown down many hands; should I include KK/QQ in here because he's in position?
    TURN: {ATs, AJ+, AA, 77, JJ} ATs might be borderline, but should I call or fold here getting a little more than 2:1?

    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (6 handed) - Full Tilt Converter Tool from Poker Strategy Forum | Online Texas Holdem Reviews Strategies Tools & Bonus Guide

    saw flop | saw showdown

    MP ($6.29)
    Hero (CO) ($5.85)
    Button ($4)
    SB ($5.11)
    BB ($5.44)
    UTG ($1.43)

    Preflop: Hero is CO with Kh, Ac
    UTG calls $0.05, 1 fold, Hero bets $0.22, Button calls $0.22, 3 folds

    Flop: ($0.56) Ad, 7s, Jh (2 players)
    Hero bets $0.40, Button calls $0.40

    Turn: ($1.36) 7h (2 players)
    Hero bets $1, Button raises to $3.38 (All-In), Hero ???

    I think this is a fold to shove, assuming your read villain is tight-passive is correct. Have you got a HUD running? Some stats would be useful.

    and if you're going to add 45s+ then you have to add all Axs as well, cos otherwise.... and then you should probably add... and then.... etc.

    anyway, there is obviously an inconsistency between the ranges you give him and the read you give...

    anyway, if villain is in fact loose-passive then this is a shitty spot.

    I don't have HUD. I need to get on that. And thanks for the link. I've been looking through the forums articles and such but I haven't read through everything. Thanks for the response.

    Tighter range for tighter reads. I understand if the player is loose-passive, this is a bad spot. What if my read is right about him being tight-passive? Still a terrible spot? Thanks ahead of time.

    As a rule, don't call turn raises. Just don't do it, at least not until you have enough skill to put an accurate range on villain. It'll save you a ton of money and headache. Research the beluga theorem to find out why.
