I agree with Laurens, preflop in EP after a limper I like to go to 15, I feel like 10 will just get a lot more limpers to come along, with AKo and being in poor position we want to get heads up.
Flop: seems fine, you can check for deception and to balance your checking range but this is 1/2 lets try to stack a weaker Ace
Turn: with your stack size here I would go for a check raise jam. once you bet $25 you basically have to go with the hand no matter the river. checking might induce your opponent to think you were just Cbetting the flop and missed your ace, giving him a chance to bluff
River: with a pot of 90 and only 51 left in your stack you just have to go with it.
The way it played out it, I would remember this villian and try to play as many pots with him in the future, easy $$$$. He floated an A high flop with only back door flush draw (he cant assume a 10 or 8 would be any good). Floated your turn bet with just a flush draw and binked his perfect card on the river, easy game right? The worst part is you only had 50bbs to start the hand so his implied odds weren’t very good even if he did get his flush. Note him as a fish and hope he is a reg!!
Thanks for the feedback guys!
When this hand went down I had been playing for about 7 hours and was ready to get up and leave after making a comeback from being stuck, probably a reason I ended up tank folding, sigh….
I put him on a weird 2 pair, I think a set would check raise flop or turn and a straight would also check raise here with 2 flush draws on the turn.
Villian ended up showing 98o
Hand 1
Preflop: why are we limping a premium hand from UTG? Limping just invites a bunch of calls and potentially a squeeze play where we will be in a tough spot OOP. With a premium holding UTG we want to limit the field if possible.
Flop: seems fine to slow play as we have the stone cold nuts.
Turn: I wouldn’t mind seeing a check raise on the turn as villian has shown aggression preflop, OTF and OTT. H
River: the board pairing is unfortunately. I think we have to check call any reasonable bet, we are too high up in our range to fold IMO.
Hand 2
Seems like you played it pretty well, just another cooler. Rough 2 hands for sure :/
Pre: I don’t hate calling his small raise with 109o, but you will likely be going multiway OOP with a rather weak holding. I think folding/calling are both fine. But we will be put in difficult spots here a large amount of the time.
Flop: check/call is standard, well played with bottom pair and OESD.
Turn: This is where I think we get ourselves into trouble. I think check/call is the better line, we keep our opponents bluffs in and avoid getting put in a tough spot. We have great showdown value with trips and still can hit our straight.
River: Why did we call his click back 4b on the turn to fold to a complete brick for only a half pot bet? We block K10, if he flopped a set of JJ or QQ wouldn’t he bet larger on the flop to protect against a straight draw?
