    Default [5NL] Another AK

    BTN: $9.42 (188.4 bb)
    SB: $7.66 (153.2 bb)
    BB: $5 (100 bb)
    Hero (UTG): $12.50 (250 bb)
    MP: $7.27 (145.4 bb)
    CO: $6.07 (121.4 bb)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with A K
    Hero raises to $0.15, MP raises to $0.25, 4 folds, Hero calls $0.10

    Flop: ($0.57) A 8 J (2 players)
    Hero bets $0.44, MP raises to $1.85, Hero ??

    MP is 43/13, 2/20 3b, 63 hands.

    Seems like the only hand I post is AK.

    Anyways I'm not sure about pre. Do we risk folding out too much of his crap by 4betting? And if we do 4bet, what's our sizing? Like $1?

    OTF I figure he's got like ATs+, AJo+, JJ, AA, maybe 88, maybe like KdQd, KdTd, QdTd. Vs. this range we only have 47% so this must be a call and re-eval turn? Or is his range likely wider including a lot more Ax hands?

    Thoughts?

    i 4bet to $1 and call a shove pre. cbet 1.50 and meh call it off if he jams. he's running 10% 3bet so for the stake is 3betting pretty wide and he's got AQ , KQ in his range easily

    I'm 4betting pre. If I'm calling 3bet pre I'm probably c/c flop as opposed to donking.

    As played, I'm calling and re-evaluating as villains stats suggest he is passive and he just raised us.
    Currently grinding live cash games. Life is good.

    I would c/c flop, but as played call raise since you could have induced some spazz with your donk.

    I donked the flop because he's a fish. I thought we didn't want him to check behind with any Jx, flush draws, straight draws. I thought there would be more value in just betting, but I do see why c/c could be better given villain had the lead pre and this is a board most players would bet with close to their whole range..
