I am playing 10/20 cents live , full ring. We are around 50 dollars deep, both me and my opponent.
There is 40 cents straddle on the utg, few people limp in and button opens to 2 dollars.
I look down at A
K
and 3bet to 8 dollars from the small blind.
Action folds to the button, he thinks for a while and tosses in the call.
Pot $17
The flop comes 2
4
6
.
When he called on the button I put him on pairs of 9s,10s,jacks or some strong ace such as AQ or AJ.
I decided to check it on the flop, we were pretty deep and i wanted to see how he acts.
Action goes check check on the flop.
Turn pairs the board and brings 3rd spade. Board is : 2
4
6
4
. I decided to bet 8 dollars into 18 dollar pot on the turn turning my hand pretty much face up after that check on the flop.
I thought paired board improved my hand equity and i wanted to get some value from weaker aces and in case i get called by a pair i will still have chances to improve on the river.
The opponent goes into the tank and shoves his remaining 42 dollars. I dont think he would ever do this with a turned flush, but would try to go either for smaller value or just cold call me and raise / bet me on the river. I did play this hand weird but would he really shave allin with 9s pair of 10s or jacks?
I could have slowplayed aces although my check on the flop was weird in that case.
I thought i played my A K pretty face up and that he picked up on that fact and tried to bluff me on the river with same hand ace or weaker ace together with spade in his hand. I'm considering a call since he was tanking for like 3 minutes before he shoved allin. Thoughts?
