Hi!

I open raise/call pf with AKs/AQs against villain, who has approx the same stack size, as me, that is about average stack in the field.

Flop comes of two low or medium cards of my suit, what do i do here:
- facing a shove
- facing a check
- facing a posized bet

I often have problems with this kind of a hand.

Tnx for your opinions!

Br, darks

we're not deep in tournament yet, there is about 2/3 of the players left in the field, as said, we are average sized, both of us.

More information is needed but I am very rarely folding the NFD on the flop especially when I have two overs.

That's very very rarely if ever. I also want to get the monies in as soon as possible

The only time I think I'd be even slightly reluctant to stack off with the AKs would be against a tight opponent on a paired board. Otherwise I am looking for the best way to get it in - Whether it's C/R or B3B. AQs I am slightly more careful, we may have only 12 outs (and we must discount a few of them anyway) but even then its pretty rare I'd be doing anything other than shipping.

Generally check/raise oop or bet/raise IP.

this

we have 9 outs to the flush, and 6 with our 2 overs giving us 15. We are almost even money against any hand (except a set)
