    Default AK Marginal Situation + Hypothetical Ranges

    I have been playing super-aggro short-handed and table has been eating it until previous hand where I lost a big pot to an openender that hit on river.

    I have only been played back at once on innocent flops where I c-bet.

    Villain (Wanted_man) is standard Tagg. We have not had confrontations up to this point.


    wNesto (EUR 65,00 in seat 1)
    Wanted_man (EUR 109,50 in seat 2)
    Mikke77x (EUR 34,50 in seat 4)
    _kingkai_ (EUR 114,90 in seat 5)
    Ladislao (EUR 128,20 in seat 6)
    Hero (EUR 108,00 in seat 8)
    Dealer: Wanted_man
    Small Blind: Mikke77x (0,50)
    Big Blind: _kingkai_ (1,00)

    HERO WAS DEALT : Ks - Ah (CO + 1)
    Ladislao Call (1,00)
    HERO RAISE (4,50)
    wNesto Fold
    Wanted_man Call (4,50)
    Mikke77x Fold
    _kingkai_ Fold
    Ladislao Fold

    Flop 2h - Jc - Qh Potsize : 11,50€

    My hand is playable here. Think I'll check-raise so I don't get 3-bet off of this. If he pushes a check-raise I know I am trailing.

    Hero Check
    Wanted_man Bet (12,00)
    HERO RAISE (34,00)
    Wanted_man Call (22,00)

    Turn 2h - Jc - Qh - 6s Potsize : 69,50€

    Hmmm. Betting here will pot commit-me.
    If he didn't push the flop, he is either slowplaying a monster or is slightly weak.

    Hero IS ALL-IN (69,50)

    3 questions here (besides "do you like my line") :

    1) You are villain ( Wanted_man). This is first time I have check-raised.

    What is your calling range on the flop (after HERO 3-bets)? What hands do you push?

    2) You are Hero. You have check-raised the flop and been called. What line do you like on this turn?

    3) You are villain. With what hands do you call the flop 3-bet but fold to post-turn aggression?

    BTW : Tried to format this but hand convertor licks my balls, this is B 2 B history and pasting nicely formatted HH from Word-processing gave dick-all. Oh well.

    Default I like

    I like the push. You're giving him every reason to fold TPTK here and any solid pair/flush draw/open ender combo that obviously didn't improve on turn. I would be expecting you to turn over KK in this situation if I give you credit for being a solid player (as if I would ever do that )

    I figure he can only call with something that's leading an overpair. Just hope he doesn't want to gamboool with ya. And he doesn't have a set 'caus he would've wanted to get it in on the flop (assuming he's standard). The flat push seems a bit suspicious...but then again it's only about the pot size.
    Nice play.
    Family Cruise IMO
