1/3 nl. Table is splashy. Hero bought in max 400 about an hour ago and is sitting on about 500. V is running bad. Has reloaded 3 times since I’ve sat down. Mostly on beats. Table is commenting that it’s just not his day. He seems to be handling it well though. Hero is UTG with AhKs. V is UTG+1.

Hero raises to 15. V calls as does a number of others. $75 to the flop

Flop. (75). Ac Kc 6s. Hero bets $45. V raises to $100. Folds to hero who calls.

Turn (275). 6h. Hero checks and V goes all in. Hero?

Say "Sorry it's just not your day " before you call.

I would consider 3-betting this on the flop, he should only have 3 combos of 66 that beat you for value, you can cooler worse 2 pair before the board gets more scary for them, and you can run equity while ahead against hands like QJcc or JTcc. On turn, you're only losing to 6x of clubs, A6dd, one combo of quad 66. Quads and A6dd are going to slow play turn a lot, so main value hand is 6x of clubs. If you think this villain could have ever have A6o or K6s than it becomes a closer decision but if they wouldn't flat those hands against UTG I think you can comfortably get this in expecting to be up against the Q high and J high clubs more often than the 6x of clubs. Frustrated V might be spazzing with any club draw here

Just realized I forgot to post V stack. He was running bad earlier but has hit a hot streak. He sitting on about $700 now

This. 2 more reasons to 3 bet the flop: you're live even against a set of sixes and OOP.

Snap call. Is he really overbetting trips or better?

As for his raise, when we block top 2 it’s going to weight him towards combo draws like 6cc or Royal draws. Whether to take a card off or ship flop is hard to say but there is merit to both.

I limp in to reraise. But that's me cuz I hate our preflop result (OOP, very multiway, offering outstanding IO, with a skillz handcuffing SPR).

I'll assume effective stack is villain's BI of $400? So SPR of ~5 on the flop? Kinda gross spot as Ax mostly never does this (A6s is in there as the first caller?) and AA/KK are still possibilities in this preflop config (as well as the obvious 66). So we basically are hoping he's going nuts with suited broadway or has the chopping AK. I probably just sigh get it in on the flop.

Kinda crappy turn now that stuff like 76ss gets there too. But not sure we can fold with just a PSB left.

Not to be a dick, but I mean, you obviously recognize that this is just a cooler, right? So what's the point of this thread?

I'm also in the 3bet flop camp to target tilted Ax, combo draws/nut flush draws and 6x of clubs.

Turn card is mixed - only one 66 remaining but now we lose to 76cc etc - still a very comfortable snap call

Lol at V calling UTG1 with aces and it going 5 ways. Do everything right and lose; do something boneheaded and win. Fun game.

if you fold the turn you are putting him on A6 or quads. even for me thats nitty.

I think most people are just going broke with AK here.
