    Default AKs to a raise and a re-raise

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (6 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    MP ($10)
    CO ($32.45)
    Hero ($24.05)
    SB ($10.15)
    BB ($10)
    UTG ($12.35)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with A, K.
    2 folds, CO raises to $0.4, Hero raises to $1.2, SB raises to $3.2, 1 fold, CO folds, Hero calls $2.

    Flop: ($6.90) 8, 2, 3 (2 players)
    SB bets $6.95 (All-In), Hero folds.

    Final Pot: $6.90

    The call is wrong.. right? Shove or fold here? The SB has been real quiet, and hadn't played a hand in an hour.

    Bigger turn bet? Lesser turn bet? Represent the river? I honestly didn't think I could push him off, and it felt like AJ.
    The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes

    Hand 1: I play it the same. Especially with
    The SB has been real quiet, and hadn't played a hand in an hour.
    Unless he gives you reason to think he's started playing back at you, assume he's not.

    Hand 2:
    I'm usually folding pf here, but if I am going to play, I'm going to 3bet.

    As played, I check the turn and take the free river card. Until they show me otherwise, I'm not going to assume that a random 10nl player can lay down a pair of aces. Then check behind on river and hope your pair holds. Nothing worse is going to call a bet, and lots of better hands will.

    I also note that this villain is raising stuff like A6s UTG.

    hand 1

    shove pf or fold

    it is ok to fold AKs pf if villain is a serious rock. i prefer a fold pf. super tight players dont 4b without KK/AA

    hand 2

    raise flop to $2.10
    full pot turn

    his range is gonna have to fold most of the time to show profit here.

    i also strongly disagree with the advice above about 3betting this hand vs. utg raiser... vs CO its ok, but not utg.
