+1. sb flat flat range is QK style, or small pocket pairs. you don't beat the majority of this kind of range

QQ is good to be in checkraising range I think because it is vulnerable to turn cards but overall strong holding. AA not chekc raising because you dont face overcards on turn.

seems really thin to value bet AK
also, don't think someone checks turn to value bet river flush with AK, they just check check or go with it for turn and river bets. the logic to bet river after checking turn has just got worse now with another bad card on the riv.er

You dominate his check folding range and no stronger hands are folding to one bet except maybe 22. I dont see much reason to cbet, but if chosen to I believe you will have to double or triple it off to get any folds, which is obviously not a desirable play. I think ev of checking beats betting here as you said yourself he is calling too wide

yea, just call call call.

i think you can probably raise bigger otf, like $2.20 as your bluffs would also like this greater sizing for fold equity, and turn greatly affects the strength of both ranges.
i think you can also bet bigger ott, like $4.50. cards super good for your bluff range and doesnt threaten your exact hand too much.
river, nothing is clearly right so cant worry too much. im sure theres arguements for any play

btw, you should always raise this flop in micros. not only just cause a donk is given. only arguement for not raising is to balance against the players who then know that if you dont raise you cant have sets. which doesnt happen in 10nl I assume.

matthew janda's Applications of No-Limit Hold'em includes all of these features. buy the book, its possibly the best out there

its 2nl, 59s will call you. AK QQ JJ AQs, AKs
getting worse hands to call you isnt the whole idea. theres 40c out there if i recall correctly, and you have kings. ??? ???? reraise for value and to take down the pot ???? ??? call and let everyone run 3 cards against you ?? ???

what hands do you intend to play aggressively if KK isnt in there then IDFK

Flatting KK to go 3 ways to the flop, then putting your whole stack in when an ace hits (not gonna have a good time)

5b pre this is 2nl let your opponents do the mistakes not urself

Turn is a check raise for value?? Maybe im blind but that sure looks like an ace

5b pre, bet flop, check call turn, check river reevaluate

So you should bluff this spot more, not value bet it less. People have this thing called equity and when you make tptk with AK its a good time to umm, bet

villian raises river after you triple barrel a consistent sizing from UTG,, not a standard call in any means unless you play in retardedly aggressive games. bluff raising river is few and far between, probably a solid fold

how can you X back turn...

if hes got a wide and weak range, then you should probably think about the frequency that hes attempting to bluff rivers. if its small, then you should lead. a lot of times the guys trying to check down his middle pair etc, leading is best.

Get wrecked.

Lol,,, You could raise turn, not really a std play though as you are IP and can easily value bet river instead from a wider range
. That being said, there is arguements for raising turn against recs, especially multiway. but calling is perfectly fine. nothing wrong with how you played it, river is meh, but just unlucky.

yeah, if you find yourself autopiloting try to actively step away from the table. breaks are great for refreshing your mind and getting refocused, also if you dont take action against autopiloting it may become a habit for you until you dont even notice when its happening. which is obviously not good

callcall call for the love of god

Yea. You block the weak tp hands that you hope to fold out, and the hearts got there so not many missed draws either. You beat 78s at showdown

Fold pre

im not sure what you mean by cbetting our entire range. if he bets out on turn, shouldnt this range be weaker than one which flat calls OOP? i think our AKo can flat a street easily, keeps villains range weaker and we still achieve the purpose of realizing equity

You know, if hes gonna call the 14bb hes gonna call the 16bb.

will have lot of 2 OCs that he will fold to my bet, especially such as QJ that me no dominatez, then betting would be great,

yea, getting those to fold would be nice, but at the expense of unbalancing your range. you got all those other hands forcing out JQ already and balanced.
not gonna be very many doubles with your AKo, so you're gonna unbalance your turn cbet and your flop value-to-bluff ratios, ehck!

4betting a smaller sizing is good, but never under 2x. you just lose value from a binary calling range. on flop i think you're whole range is cbetting, so keeping AA in there should be good. and lastly the sizing otf is weird, but i dont know if its wrong or anything. i just think 1/3 is more std in dry flops and less suspicious maybe?

meh, slowplaying AA deep is a really tricky play and leads to really difficult spots postflop if you're not careful. if villain is undercbetting, then slowplaying is just out of the question. the whole reason you slowplay should be to get that extra value from his overaggression as the preflop aggressor. otherwise, just default it with the big sizing 3bet, in the long run is the best play

you could just x/x/x/x/x/x/x/x it down, why not?
even if you have all sets in range, isnt AKo still too wide?
you have straight draws, weak overs, 3 to straight 3 to flush, more straight draws, underpairs, more weak overs, more 3 to straight 3 to flush, i dont know if AKo ever needs to bluff here.
just check and pick off some bluffs when you see fit, you got the nut no pair brooo

from what i read and from personal experience, it sounds as though you are over-weighting the importance of said player's history, and under-weighting the specifics of this current hand.
whats happening in this hand is the most important, dont let his history of being aggressive trick you into paying off in unfavourable spots.

he 3bets an utg+1 open in ring game. enough said. logically, he is rarely bluffing in this spot. it just doesnt make sense. if, for example, he was bluffing here regardless of positions, let him. its a very losing play for him and costs you only a 3bb call.

secondly, you are not solely responsible for defending against squeezes. the more people in the hand, the less hands you have to defend when facing a squeeze. here with 3 other people in the hand, you could defend, say, AKo+ JJ+ without being exploitable.

thirdly, if you do choose to play back at an opponent, say from a more favourable spot like he squeezes a BN open, choose hands such as 44-66, A4s, A5s, to bluff shove. these are the bluffs that retain the most equity against anything when called. 9Ts is going to perform poorly against anything that calls you, and you also block no strong hands.

Does no one fold 33 pre here? No semibluffing opportunities, poor visibility, up against a weak range,
??

Ch raise big sizing seems good

Thanks! Wasnt sure abot 2:1 or 3:1.

I like a raise. Doesnt have to be big, just reopen the action. I think fish make more mistake here than facing an IP flat. is really no need to balance versus absolute fishes, just raise big hands. If he is say bluffing or thin value, a lot of turns will kill our action. Best i think to just gii asap.
