1/2 AK squeeze 3ways

    Default 1/2 AK squeeze 3ways

    I squeeze here trying to get HU in pos vs the fish most of the time. The reg on the BTN folds to 3bets most of the time (he's 23/19/2.8, fold to 3bet 73%)

    The flop is OK but not great. I don't really have a problem committing here against the fish just due to the odds, but the reg is a bit of a problem. If i check this flop and it checks behind I can get a nice free turn and re-evaluate.

    The turn lead is weird, but I figure why not call and have huge odds to hit a nice river. At this stage I really don't know what to put the reg on, what hands that he's calling a big 3bet with is he playing this way? The river is decent for me obviously, do you think I should make a small bet on the river and fold to a reraise from the reg ? by small I mean 1/4 pot or something...

    Flops not great for you, and I don't think your gonna get bet out by bluffs 3 way and will more likely be facing hands that now have you in bad shape, so I don't mind checking the flop. Obv you need to call the tiny turn bet, and on the river I call also even though it's slightly worrying him betting the river that nails your most likely hand. You played it fine imo.

    Turn is weird, I see no point in betting flop or raising turn. River I call since it´s the fish betting, depending on how huge a fish he is there are a couple of Ax and the lovely KJ and the price is good.

    as stated in original post, i clearly mentioned BTN is the reg. he's the one betting here. sure looks like value to me. i folded. I guess the call only needs to be good here something like 25% I guess.

    I don't think he ever has AQ, I think KQ bets earlier as well. Can we ever put him on AJ ?

    haha, for some reason I auto-marked the french name as donk in my head I wondered how a reg gay donks the turn. I fold river in this case.

    In the batter's box. Already 0-1 count....
    I have plenty of notes on your reg here and I too feel it to be a value bet. Could be a button raise with KJ and he got home the way the hand plays to me here. However, I like him to have flopped top or mid set. Can't wait to see how this turned out.
