Hate/comments/suggestions all welcome; thanks!



Villain was 33/15/2 over around 60-70 hands. The hand before he 3bet my blindsteal with AK. Is this an ace like 99.9999999999998888% of the time? He typically raised his big hands bigger then his average hands (eg. to .25 with hands like AK and KK vs. .20 with hands like A5, 87, etc.), if that helps.

I've heard numerous suggestions to not call all-in with AKs (let alone AKo), is this a situation where I should consider folding saying his range is limited to AKo+ JJ+, is it an option then? If thats not his range, what is?

Hand 3

Villain was super weak-passive-bad. 55/16/2.6 over 40-50 hands; he was calling basically every hand preflop and flatting most raises. He was involved in a few pots where he flat called a raise preflop and donk bet immediately a small size relative to the pot. One time against me he showed up with top pair tiny kicker, and a few other times against other villains he was raised on the turn or flop and insta-mucked. My reasoning was this guy is donking with almost as big as any two cards, so four flushes, overcards, straight draws which all missed, fours, and air are all possibilities. I'm trying not to raise for pot control because I don't to be involved in a big pot with a hand like this, I'd prefer he bluffed into me with his entire range. At what point do you give up? Am I just being spewy?

Hand 1: He very rarely has an ace here as he is donking an overbetting. Weaker pairs and flush draws are much more likely so I'd be raising here and if he calls then checks a turn, trying to get it in on the river. If he flopped trips is he likely to be betting out and overbetting? Also QQ-KK almost always re raises pre so I think you are good on any non diamond turn. Raise and get it in with a fistpump.
Hand 2: The over bet 4bet makes me feel he has a hand like AQ+, 10-10-QQ rather than Aces or Kings, but at micro stakes people generally don't get it in pre without the big two hands so I think a fold is OK. His PFR isn't too high so I think you can respect his range UTG and fold here. Probably looking at a race at best.

Also Hand 3 (sorry about two posts I had to re-read after my first reply) it's a tricky one. I certainly don't mind raising the flop but by the time you reach fourth street I'd probably call and then call a small bet again on a non diamond river. This is obviously based on the reads you have provided.
I'm less confident about my advice on this hand tbh. Well done for paying so much attention in your game and gl.

#1 - Make it $3 on the flop. Fold if RR'd, otherwise check turn or river - you're probably not getting 3 streets here.

#2 - I call this - this just looks pretty fishy. The fact that you have an A and K cuts down on the odds that he has aces or kings - and there's enough overlay in the pot to call anything else now.

#3 - Pop the flop. Fold to a RR. If flat called, try to get to showdown as cheaply as you can, unless a fourth diamond comes - in which case, take your second pair and head for the hills.
