You need to think about what worse hands villian will call your raise with. Generally in this spot i would just call as i agree with Kalupso. However if you have a read on the villian and think he over values top pair/ one pair type hands too much and does not like folding i guess you could raise here as an exploit

Well im beating 25nl for a good win rate havnt played 50nl yet

Paid to laid once you have sold your car you will be selling your ass hole soon. The poker climate is tough and times are hard :/

Thanks man! Why do you suggest i 3 bet all calls that snowie advises outside big blind and fold the suited aces?

I cant afford a coach

The problem is live poker almost all raises preflop are 6x. How do i adjust bearing in mind we are 200bb plus deep. I called 6x for implied odds and the fact my ha d plays well multiway. Please advise me how do i adjist to 6x raise preflop live.

I checked qq here because i also check ak sometimes in this spot

Also how do you suggest i played the hand. I understand river is clearly a check. However was i right in check calling first two streets? I understand flop i will always check call as villian can have lots of worser hands in his range? Do we check call again on turn or fold? Once villian bets turn we can taker worser pair type hands out of his checking range on turn, hands like sevens for example wouod check back at a high frequency. So the small bet on the turn suggests he has a weak K or a flush draw and a small percentage of the time value hands like two pair. I think i should have check folded turn. We also had the q spades in out hand so that takes a lot of his flush draw combos out of his range and his range is kx heavy. Well thats my thought process now having thought about the hand. What do you think about this line?

In this hand i realised my mistake. Its one of those things where i know why it was bad but it was like a frustrated blocker bet. Simply put in that spot worser hands are only folding and better hands calling. I just had to post my hand here so i can be reminded by RIO lol and also get diciplined by other better players to stop making rookie mistakes.

You should try and avoid playing aq in a 4 bet pot out of position. Personally i would have folded to the 3 bet vs unknown. I agree with others the average reg isnt 4 bet bluffing enough in these button bs blind situations and most 4 bets are skewed towards value...so aq against unknown is a standard fold.

Do you really think there are bots?

I tend to find more fish at 6 max at micros

Why is it such a good line by villian Nick?

Much appreciated

I play 100bb deep so a 5 bet would normally be a shove are you happy to shove AK 100bb deep against an uknown?

Yeah you could get 3 streets. Bet flop, bet brick turns, and check brick rivers to allow him to bluff missed draws etc.

Jeff he should definetly fold turn vs unknown. Most rivers will not help us and villian is likely to put us in a tough spot on river with a large bet. Its better to wait for a better spot until we can get a read on villian.However i agree AJ here vs uknown should be a cbet on flop even vs uknown he should be c bettting here a high percentage of the time on such a wet flop.

Hmm why did you check such a wet flop. Villian has lots of hands that he can call us with as cut of should have a wide range here. Broadway type hands like 56 67 96 10 7 and flush draws weaker ace x some pocket pairs that will float etc. I expect that flop to hit villians range well in that spot and we need to can definetly get value from worser hands with showdown value that will otherwise check behind on this flop and also we need to charge for draws. But as played fold turn the board gets even worse and there are not many rivers we can improve to. A better board to check AJ would have been dry boards such as A72 rainbow. Boards like these i wont expect to hit villians range well and you should allow them to catch up a little bit. However on this board A57 you have several straight draws and gutters you need to get value from 34, 86, 96, 89, 64 as well as flush draws. I know i am repeating myself but hopefully this helps. Also by checking you get no information from villian. By betting flop you can narrow villians range down and get a better read on him. Out of curiousity why did you check this flop vs uknown?

Okay let me repjrase the question what is the best way to play ak (suited and offsuit) in a button vs blind situation where we face a 4 bet after 3 betting buttons open? Button is unknown and we are both 200bb deep.
