@spider im assuming you are at least calling the 3b and not just folding?
@petrucci assuming you flat here do you just x/f flop? with AKo, same hand/flop, woudl you also just x/f flop?
That is the range i am talking about when i say "nutted". JJ+ and AK. Like sure we can crank out some EV by 4 betting on autopilot against that range, but its not much and skyhigh variance on top. With bigger stacksizes like 150 BB and upwards, i dont really like to play AK that fast at all.
Your winrate or EV with AK really starts to go through the roof when yourea dealing with wider ranges. Ranges were you have hands like 99-1010 and AJ/AQ in the mix also. So my opinion is that you can gain alot both for your overall game and your winrate by cherry picking more carefully against wich opponents, what kind of spots and with what kind of stacksizes you play AK fast.
Its okay to check-fold some flops,like this one if villain fires a healthy C-bet. If we pick up weakness in sizing, or the flop get checked though we can take some different lines of course.
