Overplaying the crap out of AK

    Default Overplaying the crap out of AK

    The first hand sets up the second. I don't normally flat call preflop with KQs (and then I played it poorly which explains why lol) but I had position, raiser was loose and I figured more might join in.
    I had no reads on the postflop reraiser so I let this one go and noted to monitor him for a future lookup. Thus the second hand ensued with the same player.
    Normally I would dump the second hand readless, but the guy had been way too active so I decided this was as good a time as any to check him out. Standard given the read?

    He hesitated an extremely long time before calling - the fact that he called indicates that he must have put me on AQ or a low pair or he was just flat gonna chase 2 pair. Fortunately my hand held.

    Final pot: $40.86

    Agreed. Don't play back at weak bets w/ weak raises.

    Totally agree on the first hand - F'd that one up pretty badly as I was probably good there as well and would have easily called his push in that case.

    First hand: Reraise flop more;fold to push.I am more likely to fold preflop though FWIW.

    Second hand: I push against a maniac easily.
