Thought he could have worse ax, should never have AK here, has some sets and with the flush blocker in retrospect I think I should be folding here but not sure.

I think it's a pure fold.

Even if Villain does this with draws, these draws have equity against our Top Pair, which in total won't give us a profitable call.

I think it's fine to call AKo from time to time in their shoes here. HJ 3bet vs UTG open should be pretty tight, especially if they don't expect you to ever 3bet bluff in those positions (I think a lot of microstakes players don't). If they 4bet and you shove, they have to call but they are not very happy...

Why? Ug against mp Ak flats bit less than 50%.

Bet smaller on the flop and check back turn. As played fold.

AK is reasonable for UTG to have.

Yeah makes sense thanks mate!

Yeah makes sense, just very rarely see AK flatters especially OOP at 10nl but is stupid of me to completely rule it out

Just don't see it flattet at 10NL too often is stupid of me to assume he's never got AK though. Thanks for the feedback mate!

It's fine.
I don't think you should fold, he has very few value hands and he could jam bunch of draws.

Pre flop solver prefers a call over 3 betting 70-30% but okay.

utg correctly checks 100% of range. Solver prefers a MUCH smaller bet sizing here- with 3.7bb at 52%, and 6.1bb at 18% mixing in calls at 27%

On the turn he correctly checks 99.5% of his range

Solver is mixing 54% check backs, and some large bet sizing models- with 46bb 30% of the time. So very different line than you are taking. You should study similar spots in your databass to see if you are veering off vs. the solver in similar spots to see if you are exploitable here.


Him jamming is not solver approved. He's supposed to fold 27% and call 62%. His range narrows so significantly with your bet here. Solver folds basically everything. It's a bad call when he takes this line. Even though he shouldnt have. So if during the hand you thought he was out of line with the river jam, it's a fine call. If you weren't sure, it's a 100% fold.

you dont always getting stacked since some fellas just dont think when they play poker but when u 3bet and on A high go big bet,medium bet and they checkraise on 2d turn 4/5 times thhey have you crushed ,in general i dont think 10nl players bluff vs agression alot especially on blank turn and most of them are overfolding to 3bets you also hardblock their bluffs with thhat Q so if thhere was a hand to fold the shove that AQ was for sure one,i think most of us when we play on micros do a hero call there an see once a blue moon AT/AJs that shoved for protection but in reality it happens way to seldon thats why its good to pay attetion to player tendencies
