Playing 1k live tourney, 100/200 blinds effective stacks 20,000. Mp raises to 500, button 3bets 1700. Hero bb with AhKh,calls. Mp calls. Flop: AQh9h. Checks to button who bets 4000. Hero flats (with the idea of wanting mp to come along) mp folds. Turn 9. Hero checks. Button bets 7000. Hero?
Feels bad folding, feels bad calling, just feelsbadman

No information on BTN or MP.

You can easily make a case for ripping it and 4-bet/calling pre.

4bet/get it in pre might be better. Calling is fine too.

Turn is super gross. Just addressing raising vs calling, I know it feels like you should just call, but he never has bluffs here, you're never not calling off on the river, and he might be able to puke fold AK if a heart comes and you shove. So if you're continuing with the hand then I'd jam.

As for jamming vs folding, it's close. You're getting it in for 34.5% of final pot and your equity against { AA, QQ, 99, AQ+ } is 32.5%. So that would be a small loss. That seems like the "normal" range that a player should have in this spot. Is it possible AK isn't in some people's turn betting range? idk. It feels more likely that this guy is a psycho and has like JT or AJ or something. It's close enough that I might base my decision on some kind of live read, like WARNING RACIST CONTENT:



I think any action is OK tbh, it's just a marginal spot. Everything feels gross because everything is gross.

I think information on the 2 players at hand are going to be telling a much bigger story to what I do pre-flop, and as played, what I do post.

I'm not loving anything with no reads.

like someone said, it can easily be a cold4 pre depending on villains

flop, you have no option but to c/c imo

turn, just close youre eyes and rip it in...for reasons similar given in post #3

btw, this should be in the mtt section
