NL 25 - 4b Pot AKo OoP

Blinds: $0.10/$0.25 (6 Players) CO: $28.65
BN: $25.00
SB: $27.25 (Hero)
BB: $27.39
UTG: $25.00
MP: $23.29
CO: RFI 28%, ft3bet 55, 4bet 8,3%, cbet 51/60/41
Preflop ($0.35) Hero is SB with A K
2 folds, CO raises to $0.75, BN folds, Hero raises to $2.40, BB folds, CO raises to $5.50, Hero calls $3.10
I think 3/GII preflop should be fine, too.

Flop ($11.25) 5 K 5
Hero checks, CO checks
I think he checks JJ-QQ (if he has JJ here), KK, and his giveups. Thoughts?
Turn ($11.25) 5 K 5 2
Hero checks, CO bets $7.15, Hero calls $7.15
Ofc there are some arguments for betting turn, but I wanted to look what he's doing here
River ($25.55) 5 K 5 2 6
Hero checks, CO bets $16.00 and is all in, Hero calls $14.60 and is all in

How do you play this hand?

His JJ-QQ likely x bak rivr, so you're looking at AK (unless you think KQ is in his range which is unlikely), KK+, and bluffs- does he 4bt bluff preflop a lot? You're getting stacked here no matter what (you should anyway), but you get more out of the underprs by betting yourself on turn and river than with your x-c line (which I dont think is great for that reason, and as an overall plan). You even have the As so something like a missed AsQs for him is not possible.....

I'm thinking GII pre-flop since we're OOP. There rest plays itself and we can't really fold. Did you walk into AA?

It's funny. I ran into 75s. But that doesn't matter, its about how to play this hand. I think GII pre ist the best option. I try to learn playing 4bet pots oop, but as knoxox said, it is way better to do this with good PP's.

I would GII preflop or he must be 4betbluffing a lot.
As played I would bet turn & shove river.
I would say that river is close because you split against AK you lose to AA, KK, A5(maybe) and it depends how often he bluffs this river but I think he's checking back a lot. I would call without the As.

Should we GII pre-flop regardless of whether he's 4bet-bluffing? We don't have a made hand yet, and we're going to be in a sticky situation if we flat and the flop comes down 5-6-7 or similar.

Knoxox 10 years, 4 months ago

You're right. I didn't notice we were OOP. I think this is always a GII preflop. I like calling more with PPs if he 4betbluffs a lot. But I don't really call 4bets OOP.

I think I would call, sizing wise it's kinda close I think. If he would have made it bigger I think shoving is better. Not sure where to draw the line, by generally like calling way more. Especially at nl25

Calling 4bets oop is not a problem rly tbh. Seems to be something just the old school regs are afraid of.

As played seems fine, I think I prefer betting turn and shoving river myself though. Rather check KK / AA / KQs if we could have it OTT I think.

Interested how you think the As blocker changes how we play turn/river, you always have really good intuition on blockers it seems like. I would guess that we wanted to bet with it but check without since I'd expect a good number of AsXs combos to start bluffing turn and maybe even AsXx combos as well.

why betting turn and shoving river ? what range do you put vilain on for calling 2 streets on K high board ?

cpau 10 years, 4 months ago

I'd also GII preflop as we are oop.

The way you played it, I think you should check turn. Do you think you can get 2 streets of value from JJ,QQ ?? If you think so, maybe its better to bet the turn, but otherwise, I prefere checking.

Chael Sonnen 10 years, 4 months ago

As played, super snapcall river.
You slowplay every single street and block KK and AA, and the FD missed/he could have worse or the same for value.
