Raise - you want to get heads up with the guy to your right.
I'm CDO. It's like OCD, but everying is in order just like it should be.

Recent thread also applies here: The Infamous Ace-King offsuit
In this scenario though, the pot has been raised, and immediatly to your right at that. For me, this is an instant 3-bet. You want to get this HU. While AKo is a drawing hand, it still is the strongest HU non-pair you can have. Worst case, hes got AA or KK. He'll cap it then.
Just try to figure out what hands he may have raised with, and If the flop seemed to miss him, you might want to bet/raise for info/semibluff/bluff.Marm is back, maybe. Been off for 3 years. Rusty as Hell.

Yep same for me... however, if you have a maniac on your left you can just call and hope for a reraise and see what the guy on your right will do to get more info.

Not saying it's the ultimate strategy, but it's definatily an option. Originally Posted by Marm

Good advice. Every once in a awhile I'll have a one of those players to my right that raises alot of hands then shuts down if anybody plays back - I'll just call and wait till the flop/turn to get more bets. Some maniacs will open raise with alot of Ax hands, those are the people I'm talking about. I would say though that >90% 3 bet in this situation. Originally Posted by Marm

3bet 200% of the time.
This actually means that you should attempt to reraise and then cap yourself. Whether your dealer or online cardroom will allow that I don't know.

Didnt know there were so many 5/10 players here.
You guy do know it was $5/$10 right?
I only know what I would do at 5c/10c-.5/1 and that is raise.
Otherwise player and table dependant.
