Villan is a solid player, haven't done anything out of line. I lost a big pot with AQo on a A 5 8 T A board against his bottom set last week.
I've been playing basically ABC poker so far, waiting for good hands and wining pots against loose players.
We both have about $250 behind before the hand started. There's a $5 straddle UTG, 3 people limp and it's on me. I raise to $40 with AQ. it was folded to Villan in the small blind, who calls. everyone else folds.
pot ~$100
the flop comes AK3, giving me top pair and nut flush draw. Villan checks... what should i do?
as played i bet $50, Villan chk/raise all in and it's on me.....
如果我来打这手牌,我flop会check behind,因为对手在作为一个solid player,SB在那个位置call这么大的一个翻牌前加注,他的range其实是很窄的,88+以上的对子,或者AK。这样的翻牌出来后,我们要么遥遥领先,要么落后,如果这里我是TT/JJ with non-spade,我可能会考虑bet-fold这个flop。但AQ with Q spade,I would check the flop。call any bet on turn and river。
有些对手会拿TT/JJ with one spade check-raise all in这个flop,一般只有特别好和特别差的玩家会这么玩。如果如楼主描述,我觉得对手不属于打的特别好,也不属于特别差的。
I agree with AK. betting the flop is not a good play. we are either way ahead or slightly behind with 9 clean outs.
Being out of position and facing a big raise, a solid player's preflop cold calling range is very narrow. The flop just hits his range hard. Betting at the flop only turned our hand into a bluff bc weaker hands are folding and better hands are going to give us heavy action. With top pair and the nut flush draw, there's almost no bad turn card for us.
Actually i was the Villan sitting in the small blind with KK. Given the action in front of me there's no way not to give away information about my hand no matter what i do (unless i fold...). There hasn't been any preflop 3bet by that time. So i chose to cold call as oppose to 3betting. Against this opponent (hero in the hand), i think he may not be good enough to recognize what's going on and put me on a much wider range than it should be.
But i'm not sure about my flop chk/raise. As played i chose to end the battle on the flop to avoid facing any tough decisions later in the hand.
