Fold pre and river, maybe turn. Pre is probably the worst though

I think I should call instead of 4-betting AKs here since it's really easy to miss the flop with AKs?
Flop c-bet is standard and river should be an obvious fold since I have ace high?

the only thing i would do different would bet a little less otf. actully 30... then be done with the hand.

some guys just ship pre on the notion that you're gonna be putting in over half your stack anyway if he calls after cbetting otf so just get the hamd overwith sooner than later. mst of the time though they wiff as well and or they are spooked by an overcard to their pair and will just fold flop.

I like that you gave up after the futile cbet otf.

If you are calling the villain's 3! with AKs, are there any hands at all you are 4-betting?

Calling with everything you don't fold, including AA and KK, leaves value on the table. So you should be 4-banging AA and . If you don't want to be transparently obvious that you have a big pair when you 4-bet, you need more hands in your range, and AKs is clearly going to be a part of that range.

Hey guys first time posting here, I want to find out what you think about having pocket aces and facing a potential turn card flush. Should I check call the turn or do as played? Please advise.

Also after doing some research I believe my sizing is wrong on the flop and should be betting more towards a 2/3 to a pot sized bet.

Fast Forward, only had 5 hands on villain. I know this is a river fold, right? I snapped this off without thinking. I feel like my hand is relatively face up, [AA,AK, KQ maybe QQ JJ] and I'm giving villain waaay too much credit for a sick bluff here.

At this level, it seems to be a winner I need to be making these folds. Why do I find it so difficult? KQ got there on the river, I block AA, QQ gets there, BD spades got there. But AA and QQ I usually expect a 4bet.

Looks like a snap call to me. Sometimes you lose those.

he is tight with 27 pfr from btn
should i x somewhere?

How capped is the villain's range? Do they four-bet when their open is raised very often? How much should we discount AA or KK?

Even with a button open range that snug, they can have 99, 98s, or 87s here. Depending on how nitty they are against three-bets, A8s is a possibility.

Draws they could have include JTs, AdXd, and QdJd, but it seems to me that raising a draw here is a little frisky for a passive nit.

How many 8s are in our own range? Not many, I should think.

Villain is a nit, and called our flop bet on a very dry board. Maybe we can check-call the turn.

There are going to be a lot of cards we don't want to see on the river, basically any diamond and anything 7 or higher (except an 8 or Q). I think that as played, we pay off on a safe card and fold to a scary one.

Havent played in a while and looking to play some online - ideally 200-600nl any idea where is a good place to head now Stars is kapoot Thanks in advance

@kontost QQ hand: turn is fine to do either - the turn IP min raise is underbluffed as **** so would muck it unless it was a very agro fish

Razor AK: fold river here, you don't dominate his value hands + he is not bluiffing enough

Good evening everyone!

I haven’t played in quite a while, but am looking to come back and will start at small stakes. What sites are best? What about rakebacl?

I’m in USA (Texas).

10NL 100BB Effective 6max

UTG raises to 3xBB I call in CO with 99 BTN calls.

Pot is 10.5BB

Flop comes K85

UTG cbets 5BB I call, BTN folds.

Pot is now 20.5BB

Turn is K

UTG bets turn 15BB - Hero?

ACR is only site with rakeback (I think) for us Americans. 27% but games are harder

The turn doesn't actually change much. If the villain was ahead, they are still ahead. If they are full of ****, they are still full of ****.

Read-dependent. Against an unknown, I think I fold.

Yeah I think its probably a fold too I don't see many bluffs when top pair hits trips on the turn. It might be close though

Quick preflop spot. Is this a call?

Calling isn't bad, but I would rather that effective stack size were larger, 150 or 200bb rather than just 100.

You’re deep enough, so you want to play. You have enough equity and you will be able to realize that equity more often than not.

V seems to be reasonably tight but what do you know, they might stack off with aces on any kind of board.

Vs a reg you can put this in your 3bet range along with other suited connectors and suited aces.

Thanks for the response. I like 65s a lot but wasn't sure.

Okay one more hand, this one had me thinking.

We don't have the T and we do have the T I think we can safely fold here.

Preflop raise is a bit big; I would have made it $1.
