V: (320) Has been sitting for about an hour, has opened twice and folded every other hand. Younger white guy (20's) bought in for 200 and won two hands hand w/o showdown for decent pots

Hero: (480) Young TAG. Solid image and haven't been getting out of line.

Preflop:
1 limper
Hero raises to 15 with AK
folds to V in BB who 3b to 45
Hero flats

Flop (87) K97
V leads 80
Hero calls

Turn (247) 6
V shoves for ~200
Hero???


How is the line so far and wtf do i do. I am hoping to chop no? He's got KK(1 combo) AA and AK only I'd assume. Looks like he is setting up for value shove on turn (not sure AK would play this way always)

Fold. You don't beat anything except possibly QQ and chopping w/ AK (he could have AhKh, too). A player with this description is not shoving with a hand worse than AK. I might have folded on the flop. I think the pre-flop play was good.

I had a similar hand last night where I 3bet a tight LP raiser with AK from SB. Flop came K high, I bet $50, he shoved (only $120 total), and I called. He, of course, had KK.

1. you should have been thinking about your plan when you decided to call preflop instead of 4!

2. you should have definitely had a plan when you called the flop instead of raising.

3. If you called the flop and fold to a turn brick, you need to take some time away from the table and think about why you're making each play because your decisions on each street are questionable and have led you to this point.

AP - If V thinks of you as a solid TAG who made a 7x raise preflop, and V still 3! out of position to 45, and just watches you call the 3!, what range does he really put you on? Myself, I'd think you had Jacks.

yet you called the pot on the flop with a K out there, so it is much less likely you have jacks and much more likely you have a poorly played AK.

And now he shoves a brick on the turn which makes me think he puts you precisely on AK and has AA / KK and wants full value OR (much less likely) he's got something that doesn't want you to call the turn (like QQ, JJ, TT, or a smaller pair) and thinks you're good enough to fold to a shove.

And even if he has A K for a current chop, he has a lot more equity than you (60/40), making a call if you can put him on exactly AK about even money.

Thank you for the response.

I debated a 4b/f pre, but I figured with position I'd be able to use that to my advantage by flatting.

If V slowed down on turn I was going to go with it, however I didn't like a raise on flop because everything worse folds and only better calls and I'm not getting anything better to fold given stacks. I can't fold since I have the toppest of pairs, thus I went for a call. (just my thought process, could be wrong)

I mean if he has QQ here is is the greatest all time, I thought about it but I don't see QQ playing this way that often, but certainly possible I guess if he's a maniac

You have AK and got the flop and turn you want, yet you want to fold the turn because V shoves all-in. I'm not sure why you called preflop if you're folding when a A or K hits...

I think you are right. I would say that when he 3b pre he still has hands like JJ and QQ, and as played postflop I would throw those out of the window. I think that I'm definitely folding too much if I'm folding this board as played but what can I beat?

I'm fine with calling pre-flop and then folding when a tight player shows extreme strength on an A or K flop and especially on the turn. No reason to fold pre and no reason to go broke now. Folding AK (especially suited) pre here would be bad. 4betting against certain players is fine, but against this guy it doesn't make much sense.

If we think V is competent and that he is highly unlikely to be bluffing here, then he can only have AA, KK, AK and 99, based on the pre flop, flop and turn action.
I'd be surprised to see many players playing QQ, JJ or TT this way.
Eff stacks to start the hand were 160bb. We're a little deep to stack off with one pair but I can't say I fold here either. Prob a leak in my game. In the cold light of analysis, fold. We're hoping to chop, which is a bad spot to be in, and hope is not a method.
At the table, I prob pay this off. A leak I need to fix.

But, 100bb or less eff stacks, ship it, no second thought.

I fold this turn where we are likely chopping or losing. this is probably close but the fact that we can be getting freerolled here makes me fold
