AK on a pretty board ($20NL).

Results 1 to 5 of 5

    Default AK on a pretty board ($20NL).

    After a few months playing SnGs again, I thought I’d give cash another go. I’ve been reading stuff on FTR about ranges, so I’ll have a go here.

    Villain was 38/1 and he’d limp/called my last four or five raises. He liked to call flop bets with a piece of the board, but I hadn't seen him raise a flop bet until this hand. I put his range pre-flop as 22-JJ, A2+, any two cards T or higher, connectors, and one-gappers. I think even he raises QQ, KK and AA. After he raises the flop, I narrowed his range to 33, KT+, AK. I eliminated JT as I think he just flat calls with it. I think I may be narrowing ranges too much sometimes, but even against this tight range, I'm around 2:1. Is just calling his flop raise ok? When the turn comes, I have $11.03 behind and the pot is $13.30. Do I just shove it all in?

    Sorry if this is really obvious to some of you, but it was the flop play and the ranges I assigned that I wanted most advice on.


    Hold'em No Limit ($0.10/$0.20)

    Hero ($17.03)
    CO ($38.26)
    BTN ($16.26)
    SB ($61.10)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with K , A .
    CO calls $0.20, BTN calls $0.20, 1 fold, Hero raises to $1.20, CO calls $1, BTN calls $1

    Flop: ($3.70) K Q 3 (3 players)
    Hero bets $2.40, CO raises to $4.80, 1 fold, Hero calls $2.40

    Turn: ($13.30) K Q 3 A (2 players)
    Hero shoves ??

    I'd be interested to know your equity against his calling range on the flop if you 3-bet.

    At the time, I only saw him calling a flop 3-bet with hands like 33 or KQ, which we have 40% equity against. If we include AK, it becomes around 50%, but looking back at the hand now, he could possibly call with hands like KJ or KT with the Js or Ts. Against this range, we have around 62% equity.

    Mmm Seems Very Fishy... I'd C/R and if he shoves, instafistpump and call. I think we're golden here especially with the nut draw and top 2. He smells like he's playing air.

    Against someone this loose I don't mind getting it in on the flop since if a spade comes that's going to kill your action against top pair hands that don't have a spade or even something like OESDs without a spade who talk themselves into doing something retarded.
