Hi guys,

I'm mainly thinking about pre flop here, although post flop thoughts obviously welcomed. So it's villain's first 3bet at the FT I believe. He's been pretty weak passive. I'd floated him in position a lot and he'd given up on turns almost every time. Like obviously AK is pretty strong but I definitely didn't want to get almost 40bb in here when I'm pretty sure he's not going to put too much worse in... I'd 4bet jammed 88 which went to showdown the hand before this so he knows I'm not super nutted on 4bets - maybe he calls AQ, I'm not too sure though. Is it possible to virtually click back to like 210k and fold to a jam - this seems bad, but flatting turns the hand kinda face up I feel.

Cheers in advance!

i will probably 4 bet and fold to a jam . AK is so strong 3 handed i don't mind get it in against a more capable villian . if i think i can outplay the opponents and get chips easily in other spots i would 4 bet fold this ,still left with a healthy stack around 27bbs .
ICMIZER clearly says it is a profitable shove with 88+ ,AQs+,AKo,AKs
he might sometimes be taking similar line with AJ ,QQ ,KQ , but all depends on how much edge you think you have in order to get the remaining of chips .

cheers

I agree with invincibles in that you dont have to take higher variance lines if you think you have a big egde. That said, smaller 4bet would be good, and still not sure if I'd fold to his jam. And I like just jamming pre more than how it was played. You're getting a lot of folds there, and are rarely crushed when called. At this point in the tourney, with those cards, I almost always just go with it then sigh when I lose and move on.

Now don't take offense, but you mentioned how weak passive he is.. however this hh shows you playing this hand quite weak passive yourself. At some point, I believe you need to put some raise in to see if he's really going with his hand, that or just call it all the way down(which i dont love either). You're the big stack and Ak 3 handed is close to the nuts pre, then you get tptk on the flop (even if the board was far from great) and then fold on the turn ? ... At some point, pre, or on the flop, or on the turn, I believe you should highly consider showing some aggression so as to not get outplayed by your weak passive opponents. Just my thoughts looking at this.

Peace!

dont imagine I'm ever folding pre flop w AK and 3 left in a tourney when i'm big stack. once you flop the K we are never folding. I would be raising him on the flop and gii . you cant possibly fold this turn what are you giving him credit for ?
