So, same session as my flopped mid pair vs small c/r allin.
I won a big pot with AQ > A3 on AQ3xQ (I raised pf, cbet, V raised, I pushed, he called).
Was up +160 from that hand, my only pot for the first hour and a half. Then a few hands later, I wake up with AKo in EP :
UTG opens to $5, I’m utg+1 with a $360 stack and 3bets to 15, a seemingly good player, sitting on a nearly 300bb stack, cold calls in mp, folds back to UTG who calls as well.
Flop K76
utg chk
I bet 25 into 45
MP calls
Utg foldsTurn J also bringing a bdoor fd.
What do you do?
Cbet? Around 50?At the same time, I began to feel uncomfortable playing a big pot oop with just one pair. Maybe im a nit, i guess villains range might look like KT+, maybe AK. He might hav floated with brodways, QJ, JT…
i guess i still have value to get.And what would we do on a river Q, J or T?
Yeah… posting the hand is making me realize stuff, I found answers to my own questions.
Still curious about what you guys think about that situation.
Thinking back about it, I think I’d bet 50ish on turn, maybe even 60 ($90 in the pot). Maybe i’d c/c river on bricks (or b/c)
And on rivers completing a str8 or flush, would be a tougher spotYou have to bet turn. You have top-top and should be ahead most of the time. I don’t see many players floating with broadway type draws. He has to have something to call 25 on the flop in a 3bet pot in a 1/2 game. He could have KT, KJ, KQ, or maybe something like 89 suited for the open ender on the flop. Unless he’s got some weird 2 pair or a set, you’re way ahead.
Yeah being out of position sucks, but you can’t shut down when you have a strong hand because of it. I’d probably bet bigger – 60-75 – and see what he does. Sure, you might fold out worse kings, but you can’t give him a free card to draw if he’s on that.
I agree with John; you need to charge the draws on the turn. Better to win a smaller pot than to lose a big one. I like $70-75 on the turn. If he has a set, well that’s just poker unfortunately.
I have found myself many times in similar spots in 1/2 games,I think when you take this line you should continue on turn around 60-80 ,and if get called evalued on river maybe on brick river with block bet or check decide on different river run-out.thats my humble opinion.
Thanks guys for your answers, makes a lot of sense, i agree with your comments and I think pretty much the same way.
Here I made a quite big mistake (and am ashamed of) i ended up folding (?!) But I think the mistake is not about the hand, but the mindset I was in at the moment. I was slightly down for the past month or two, and the big pot I won prior to this hand took me back in the black. So I kind of wanted to save my profits… but couldn’t stop playing after only an hour and a half… i can only play once a week and I missed a couple of times in the last 4-5 weeks, so I didn’t want to hit and run right away…
that took my focus on my money instead of playing the hand right. Another thing is that I don’t have a bankroll, and am trying to build it from scratch. That’s another reason that made me want to save my profits.
Had I not won that big pot before, and was on my $200 starting stack, i’m pretty sure I would’ve played the hand differently. I would actually have played it! 😉
