Hand Quiz - please have a go.

Villian is most likely a bit of a donk as he's running: VPIP: 49, PFR: 26, 3B: 0, AF: 0.8, Hands: 61

If you have time please answer the following (viewing villian as an unkown donkish type):

1) Do you like my sizing?

2) Is this a fist pump call?

3) Would you put any bluffs into his shoving range?

4) Would you call with AK?

5) Would you call with AQ?

Please feel free to add discussion to any answers.

    Re: Hand Quiz - please have a go.

    Here/s my go at the questions. Nice hand btw. It's always great to see maximum value out of a well disguised set.

    In this situation, with your opponent seeming to put money in at every opportunity. Your bet sizing did everything it is supposed to in regard to getting all your money in the middle with a good hand. If you play this way with every big hand you have, you will probably make a lot of money on of this guy.

    I would call and save the fistpump for later, but most of the time I believe it's going to follow.


    Anything less than AQ is an outright bluff, claiming to be able to beat AQ or better. So yes, I would say their are hands he would bluff with, such as Aj down to A2, and possible a middlle pocket pair such as 10 or 99, afterall, you don't have to have the ace. You could have bluffs up to KK you'd fold for his all-in, and maybe even a little weak Ax suited we got frisky with pre-flop.

    Personally I would insta-call with AQ or better against this guy. The reason is not so much that I think I have the best hand but the fact that I am getting better than 3:1 on a heads up hand where my opponent showed no strength pre-flop, on the flop, or the turn. Where if he had of hit any two pair at that point, he most definitely at least re-raised. It's possible he called with a gutshot draw on the flop and hit it on the turn or changed the gut shot to a trip draw on the river when the other six hit. Either way, he still got you to put in most of his stack while he was behind, and he didn't give you a chance to fold on the turn when he hit is gutshot, as played, I think you have to call in the situation everytime. hands down, you can never look back on AQ or better.

    Re: Hand Quiz - please have a go.

    Assuming we don't have any history of abusing villain (you didn't say), I think the way you played it is ok...I'd have gone $1 less on the flop, $14 on the turn, obv less on the river, which would have gotten us to the same place, so no biggie there.


    That said, I'm calling here, but not surprised if he has A6 or 67. His AF tells me he likes his hand, so the chance of a bluff here is small, but not zero. Again, assuming no history in those 61 hands of note, he's not doing this to not be bullied...so the only 6's in his hand are A6 and 76, esp w/ no FD.

    I think it's a pretty trivial call, but not shocked if we lose. Either way, take a note on how he played w/e he had.

    Given our odd's on a call - would you have been bet folding AQ/AK smaller on the river?

    He is never bluffing.

    River is a call though as he can have worse, but im not thrilled about it against this type of player.

    Re: Hand Quiz - please have a go.

    With 113 bb stacks and given the fact that our target-range is mostly Ax (there is not much elese he can have if we hold 33 and the flop is A37r), I'd overbet the flop a bit and try to get allin by the river with 3 big bets.

    Folding AK/AQ readless as played.

    For all those who find it hard to click the fold button - he had:

    Spoiler:


    Which is a bit scary as he really shouldn't.
