I raise - lots of callers, looks like a squeeze .... so

fuzzbox

5/10 6-max

I should be viewed as TAG.

Action
I open utg for 45 with AhKh, 3 callers, and the BB makes it 245 to go, I push.

How about it?

Indubitably.

I'm interested in the reasoning behind the push though.

PS: How do you liek braised steak?

Samba

hmmm, i don't like pushing with AK PF in cash.... that's just me...

There are only a few hands that you have in bad shape, AQ, AJ, A10.

After that you are flipping a coin!

The only way i'm making this play is if I have a firm read on the villain, i.e loves Arag.

You won the hand, im just curious what the villain had?

It does look like a bet that does not want a caller, that is unless he has AA-1010

He cant call without AA (maybe KK). There is 4*45 and 1*245 in there. At this level mostly 3-betting = AA. I raised UTG, I'm pretty tight, and when reraised I push. It looks real strong right? (I also have 1 A and 1 K, so its less likely that he has AA/KK)

If I fold out QQ- all the time, and KK even half the time then this is good ... and also - since he could be on a squeeze (they are theiving b*stards at this level), I could actually have the best hand, but I prefer to win it now.

So I should have a lot of fold equity, and there is a lot of dead money.

Course - he could have AA ... and I'm kinda fvcked.

That canteen is horrible. I feel ill everytime after eating the dried up end bits.

Hi Samba - do you regularly call these type of all-ins with QQ-?

The C Kid

Nice.

Samba

It really depends on the situation Fuzz, last night Fitz Game.. I get QQ on the bb, button ppts for around ten, i make it 35.... he pots.... ehehehehe, I fold and show QQ, he flips over AA

So in answer to your question, no, i don't.


I can see where your line of thinking on this hand is and if your table image is as respectful as you say it is, this is a fine bet.

He may well have AKo! and will drop to this bet.

Sorry to Hijack your thread like this Fuzz, on that QQ hand Above, before I raise I was 99.9% sure he had AA based on his body language, i wanted my chips to confirm my reads by info betting.

Should i have flat called this bet as my implied odds are good if i hit a Q, Villain had around 350, I had about 400.

btw - Kinaldo owes me a pint! hehehe - there was a bum deal two players were dealt KK and AK i was dealt AA maybe the poker gods were saving me from a K high flop

ianmc38

Samba next time your in the SE please introduce yourself. i want you to show my mate how to fold QQ preflop.

Ready for halfbaked reply?

Fuzz next time you're round I'll bring you to Bewleys. Friday steak is good though

Samba

Double post

Samba

heh, right can't see smilies and my sarcasim detector is out of batteries

I was in there last night up until around 3. am, no value at the tables so i left and headed for the Fitz

Hectorjelly

I dont just like this move, I think its neccessary to compete with thinking players. If you only 3bet with AA KK then its almost impossible for players to make substantial equity mistakes in these scenarios.

fuzzbox

Results:
Well this time villain truly was evil and managed to have AA in his hand and of course insta-called.

However - I hit a flush, and beat him back down.

fuzzbox

Samba: if you already know that he has AA, then you absolutely should just smooth call to try to hit a Q to stack hiim.

The tough part of your plan is getting away from QQ on a 642 rainbow flop.

No im actually serious. See bad beat sticky. Guy called me with QQ when i was holding a warning beacon saying I have aces. What cash table were you on? I was there until 4 playing cash.

Samba

I was on both tables, were you the guy opposite me wearing the cap?

I was wearing the the blue stripe shirt in seat 8/9 on the main table
