A couple of AK hands.....

[BobbySalami]

First hand....I had only 2 hands under my belt with no reads. Turns out later that Todd is a total retard playing every 2 cards to the hilt........I tried to buy it after I missed, but then figured he must have something. What would you guys do.....just let it go when he bets the flop(albeith 0.10)

Second hand.....another AK 4 hands later...( Actaully got AK 4 times in the first 15 hands.....but everyone folded PF the other 2 times)...anyways, Im geussing he had a high PP, but his bets for those were upwards of $2-3 PF.....But he would bet ANY piece of the flop and I mean ANY...so I wasnt sure what to do here....

Now, I'm not very good, but I'll take a stab at this...

For hand 1 you shouldn't be calling the turn and river. Fold or raise, you're letting him take a look at those cards for less than nothing (like 1/30 the pot?). When he calls, then bets tiny, I would take that as an indication that he's on the draw or has a marginal/weak hand. Many players are so bad at .05/.10 that they'll hold onto their middle pair, queen kicker or something, and probably their OESD's if he's willing to call preflop raises with crap like 7-5. I probably would have lost more on the turn.

Hand 2, not much you could do about that. If he hit any piece of the flop, he has you beat, and lots of times he'll have you beat even with missing the flop.

[BobbySalami]

Yeah, on hand 1, I got passive when he called the flop....just thought I was beat, but the price was right to make sure I was........that was pretty bad thinking I suppose. But from later reads he woulda stayed in the hand no matter how much I bet......

But I still shoulda pushed him off the draw, but I was also scared of a slow play from him showing weakness.........

i agree, raising the turn on hand 1 wouldn't of made a difference with this type of player. You can't bluff a retard like they say. Good calls, bad result.

Hand 2 - good fold.
