Too aggresive with AK?

**Girevik** · 08-04-2005

Here's a hand of mine from last night.

PokerStars 0.05/0.10 Hold'em (8 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with

,

.
2 folds, Hero raises, MP2 calls, 1 fold, Button 3-bets, 2 folds, Hero calls, MP2 caps, Button calls, Hero calls.

Flop: (13.40 SB)

,

(3 players)
Hero bets, MP2 raises, Button calls, Hero 3-bets, MP2 caps, Button folds, Hero calls.

(*I'm wondering what MP2 has here - I'm thinking maybe AK as well, but I'm hoping something like AQ or AJ - my fear is A9, but would he have caped with that pre flop?*)

Turn: (11.70 BB)

(2 players)
Hero bets, MP2 raises, Hero 3-bets, MP2 caps, Hero calls.

(*Ok - now I'm really thinking at best it's a split pot, but am really worried he just filled up. Should I have just called his rase?*)

River: (19.70 BB)

(2 players)
Hero bets, MP2 raises, Hero 3-bets, MP2 calls.

Final Pot: 25.70 BB

Results in white below:
Hero has Ks Ad (full house, aces full of kings).
MP2 has Ac 7c (three of a kind, aces).

(*WTF- he capped pre-flop with A7s and kept raising with top pair, crappy kicker?? I love running into players even worse than me. Wish it happened more often*)

Outcome: Hero wins 25.70 BB.

If you are not capping each street here, I think you left money on the table, perhaps you are to Under-aggressive PF here. Ok haha, so you missed one bet... no biggy, at woolworth tables, AK is gold from where you are, Cap cap cap.

Especially at 5c/10c I easily cap everystreet.

Actually I didn't - the genius next to me caped it for me. I thought about capping, and almost did (would have if it were suited), but I put the button on a big pair and was probably too worried about the chances of him having AA or KK (more likely KK).

**bonchkid** · 08-05-2005

You still missed the bet though. Saying you didn't because the guy behind you did is like saying it was right to call off all your chips on a flush draw because you hit.

**Marm** · 08-05-2005

Yeah, bonch is right there, thats a results oriented view Gir, You know just as well as I do that a 3-bet PF can mean anything from AA to 56s. You should cap this for value.

Nice, you couldn't have asked for much better of a flop, turn and river with those cards. It's hard to know for sure what someone has but I would be thinking a set of 9's with all that raising pre flop but I have seen that same scenario happen at a 3/6 table but I got the short end of the stick instead. Even if after the flop all the raising might have slowed me up but I wouldn't fold it even thinking he had a set.
