Comments on: AKs Out Of Postion In A 3way Pot http://www.poker-scholarship.com/2009/11/aks-out-of-position-in-a-3way-pot/ Poker Coaching - Players Staking Fri, 08 Jan 2010 19:41:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Marios (Administrator) http://www.poker-scholarship.com/2009/11/aks-out-of-position-in-a-3way-pot/comment-page-1/#comment-276 Marios (Administrator) Wed, 16 Dec 2009 14:22:15 +0000 http://www.poker-scholarship.com/?p=982#comment-276 I checked and raised all in. I had a strong hand and I was willing to play for stacks. If I bet, the weaker hands are going to fold and I get callers only with better hands. So... I want to play for stacks (or fold, else I am commited anyway).. but with the weaker hands in the pot. Now. About my decisiont to play for staks... It has to do with my opponents images.(I don't remember details about them). I will find the hand and post what happened. I think he called with a funny hand. I don't remember. I checked and raised all in.

Anyways my answer is this:Your first to act in a 3 bet pot. A check here looks very trappy especially since you are a LAG and your aggressive,all of a sudden you check on a A high flop when youve been aggressive pre?? Looks trappy to me.But a check could be deceptive to maybe looks like you have QQ or KK but your image doesnt portray that.So check is out of the question. A bet here looks like your normal style Iam thinking??You can bet and get value from a ton of hands that are calling your pre-raise and they might also think your bluffing because your a LAG and float with an Ax or worse.Valuetown action. Your ahead of a lot of pre-calling ranges here PP+Ax+SC+some random junk and can get some value. Your only drawing dead almost to 66+JJ and you still got 25% equity vs.AJ and thats a small percent of villians calling range. Were flipping vs.Axs+KQc and got a little more equity vs. Just a flush draw. So value town it is I would bet 25$ for value,Flushes arent getting pot odds that way but are prob getting implied odds sio there calling anyways. So bet here 100% and if your shown aggression your prob flipping for stacks or way behind.

Everyone is checking here on the flop if you check I think.Check calling is just showing your your turning into a station calling to the river and calling off money to a better or worse hand (a passive-fishy :)).Check-raising is just terrible here because I dont think anyone is betting the flop unless there really strong(maybe AQ) and your missing value. A c-bet is getting some value from AQ-KK-QQ-1010 and there only calling here as there afraid of the A.I think JJ-66-AJ are raising you on the flop because you showed aggression with a 3-bet pre, maybe AQ might raise here.A bet 100%, no reason at all to check.KQ might peel one but its pretty bad and a flush will prob peel one also.I would say Bet always and if you get called re-evalute on turn.AQ-KK-QQ will check it down to the river if you c-bet.And JJ-AJ-66 will raise on the flop or river all the time. Iam prob value betting the shizil outta this hand and getting paid off vs. worse, and better hands will raise you.Tricky hand but pretty dry flop,Iam only really afraid of JJ from the BB but thinking would raise on the flop for sure.I think a bigger hand will check raise you all-in on the flop or put a big bet in on the river if you call or turn. SHOW US THE TURN AND THE ACTION LOL. P.S This is 6-max right??? Oh sweet 6-max how I love your action.1/2 c-bet will give you all the info you need(A 3-bet pot doesnt need a huge c-bet to see where your at especially vs. 2 opponents).A dbl barrell might be in action here to.
