    Default What is the ugliest thing about this hand?

    Plz tell me what you hate the most about my line here. It shouldn’t be hard ; there’s a lot of butchering going on… I have a loose image, as always…

    $400 NL Texas Hold'em - Tuesday, October 10, 08:53:35 ET 2006
    Table Table 106050 (Real Money)
    Seat 6 is the button
    Total number of players : 6
    Seat 6: SunTzu7076 ( $783.46 )
    Seat 5: HERO ( $556.50 )
    Seat 3: iDdqd__ ( $749.38 )
    Seat 2: prrrmiaow ( $384.50 )
    Seat 4: ente78 ( $712.20 )
    Seat 1: Baldnbroke ( $415.10 )
    Baldnbroke posts small blind [$2].
    prrrmiaow posts big blind [$4].

    SunTzu7076 calls [$125].

    ** Dealing Turn ** [ 8c ]

    prrrmiaow is all-In.

    Squeezer is decent, aware player. SunTzu is donk bigstack running hot.

    I think either calling pf or folding on the turn.

    I think calling preflop with AKs is the worst. I think you need a read to know that a opp is squeezing here, and then I would probably 4-bet preflop (also to force suntzu out and get HU) - but honestly I dont play in such aggro games yet, so I dont know the correct answer tbh.

    Turn fold is obviously fine because:
    - you have suntzu yet to act, and he might very well have 2pair+ here.
    - a lot of TAGs squeeze with suiced connectors and this flop+turn is hitting a lot of those hand really hard.

    I didn't like the turn fold mostly because the bet is less than 1/2 pot (almost 1/3 pot I think). villain might be semi bluffing or even have a worse hand at this point - I'm just not sure you can be like >75% sure TPTK is beat. And I am not worrying about suntru much since he's a donk.
