5/10 - AK vs. two loose passives

Results 1 to 9 of 9

    Default 5/10 - AK vs. two loose passives

    UTG is 30/9/1 over 170 hands. More post-flop stats that might be relevant if the sample size weren't so small are 20% WTSD and 33% river aggression frequency. No real reads. Button is a fish, 32/1/1 over 120 hands, calls a lot pre-flop and fold to c-bets, no other history.

    Flop I figure hit my range much harder than theirs and I have outs vs. hands they call with. Turn I'm tempted to bet b/c he's passive, but I can't think of what worse hands call. On the river I'm lost.

    Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Holdem Ring game - Blinds: $5/$10 - 6 players - Converter

    Stack sizes:
    UTG: $920.50
    UTG+1: $467
    CO: $437
    Button: $1000
    SB: $513
    Hero: $1027

    Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is BB with K A
    UTG calls, 2 folds, Button calls, SB calls, Hero raises to $60, UTG calls, Button calls, SB folds.

    Flop: T 8 Q ($190, 3 players)
    Hero bets $130, UTG calls, Button folds.

    Turn: A ($450, 2 players)
    Hero checks, UTG checks.

    River: T ($450, 2 players)
    Hero checks, UTG bets $450, Hero...

    You can't check that turn
    As played, you lost the lead, you have to fold

    KQ/QJ/JT? I mean, I assume a 30/12/1 is bad, but not that bad.

    Missed that. But I still don't think we're getting value from more than one hand.

    if you thought check folding the turn was viable (which i dont think you do since you are considering the river), then bet/folding sucks even worse, yea.

    BUT if you are planning on putting more money in on this turn (i would) then betting gets money out of worse hands and c/cing doesnt
