playing AK HIGH

[lovenah]

I think he got a pocket pair small one and he knew you got high card and you touch nothing

This appears to be a good competition

maybe he has a pair bigger than river 7 ...maybe he's got a pair 88 or 99..

Oh wow just read he had KQ. Nice call. He took a strange line with that hand and i dont think he played that well at all. Im not 3 betting with KQ and neither am I floating on the flop with that hand unless im gonna make a move on the turn or river. I guess he was planning to check raise u on the turn. U played this hand brilliantly!!

thx man. ya he took a real weird line, if your gonna 3 bet with KQ outta position u shud be willing to fire pretty much any flop. If he fires the flop im most likely just folding giving him credit for an overpair. But when he checks i kinda figured he had something like AQ,AJ so with the nut no pair i decided to take a shot at the pot. then when he called my bet on the flop i was a lil lost, didnt see how he could just check call unless he flopped a set or something, but then i wasnt really sold on the fact that he would 3 bet with that small of a pair. wasnt 100% sure i had the best hand at the river but i def wasnt sold on an overpair. nonetheless he got owned and he knew it! haha

nice call from you... i think that was the right call if he did`t made a continuation bet on flop

ya, a lot of people that have responded dont really understand how i can call with ace high here. but your exactly right in that when he doesnt continuation bet the flop it just looks super weak/super strong. it feels like he either flopped a set or has air, and i just didnt think that he would 3 bet with a small poket pair of 66 33 or 22. And if he did have an overpair, you would think he would continuation bet the flop or at least chek raise the flop. The hand just "didnt make sense" and oftentimes when the story jsut doesnt add up like that, there bluffing.

1st your open it's terrible
Opening 5x? rly bad
No stats on the guy?
If he's 3betting you after such a big raise he's prob got it...
As played probably an overpair like 99's

I always get burned with AK, someone with small pair always seems to beat me

no actually my open was not terrible. this was played in a live brick and mortar cash game, in case youve never played in a live casino cash game before people dont raise 2.5-3x. its more standard to see 5x raises especially when the majority of the table has in excess of $200. go watch high stakes poker episodes before you talk shit and see how with the blinds 300-600 most people are opening with $3000 raises

One answer, get the hell out,,,and I have no idea what he's got..

[Swittie]

first of all....did u have a crystal ball or something?..no?..then why u raised pre-flop?..nobody EVER knows what comes on table...=/
2o) flop comes 632, do you have anything here with ur "precious" AK?..no?... then why u raised? ....=/
3o) turn comes 6 and both check, first reasonable thing u do....
4o) river is a 7, still: do u have anything yet with ur "wonderfull" AK?..no?.....ok, then call his raise n see ur money go away with his pair of 2.

simple like that.
