KJ

I would be hard pressed to fold, BUt I would seriously think about it....

Man...another dissapointment in the poker world, wherby balls wins over the tank.

This doesn't suprise me, BUT it really only a pot bet Post Flop. I am pretty conservative and with no other information other than odds, that you were a big fav before the flop and no woof after.

It is a little intimidating that when someone bets that aggressive they have a made hand - such as the nuts AND it was the rest of his stack!

I would prolly call here. But then again, I would playing limits a little lower where the pot may only be $30 or so. I know it shouldn't matter but this is where the experience of knowing that a chip is just a chip regardless of the dollar amount attached to is extremely important.

I know you're not looking for lecture. But given the information I would drop to the tank and prolly call...

man you play AK strong preflop. Easy fold on the flop. 0$ in side pot and call 70$?? hell no.

I dont always play it like that, but I was sure it would take the pot right there...

or if not, I'm HU in a coinflip VS MP with 6$ in dead money...

But it did'nt went exactly like that!?!?!?

I should have won 120$ instead I lost 21$...

KJ

Whats a bet of that size mean? It means he wants to get the all-in guy HU, alone to himself. This is telling me he has a marginal hand that can't handle excess action and hes trying to close it out right now.

Thinking this way, this is an easy call, possibly a reraise if that would do any good.

This is not an easy call IMO but I think you gotta make it. The bet, as marm pointed out, could easily be to isolate against the all in player. Plus, the pot is 60$ so its 70 to you to win 130, you have almost 2 : 1 to call.

Why do you check? How can you raise it then check fold when you hit? This isnt a tourney, dry side pots dont mean anything.

agree betting flop is the way to go.

agree side pot is insignificant in cash. however.... calling a 120bb with TPTK, is very tough and dangerous.

Ding Ding Ding!!!

You have the right answer... I'm a bit dumb...

My plan was to check raise just to won a few $$$$ cause I was putting at least one of them on AA or KK... but it was a crappy plan!
