5NL - AK

Posted 10 years ago

Anon. I'm posting the whole hand here, but without the results. There are a lot of moving parts and a few questions. Overall, I guess I just need feedback on my line and thoughts as played and whether the plan to get to showdown was fine.

1. No cbet here against 3 opponents. I wasn't firing against 3.

2. Facing turn bet and raise, we were getting 9:1 on an 8:1 call for our gutshot, so I called. Our A, K outs might be good as well, but I figured that we would need to hit our Q outs in order to get more money in the pot. If we hit our A or K we'd probably be ahead, but I wasn't sure that betting was a great idea.

You played it fine, for me the turn bet of 25cents may as well be a check. Odds are too good to fold as we're drawing to the nuts.

River is too thin to get value from worse.

I like checking back on the river, don't want to fire and get shoved on only to fold which may happen a lot given the board texture and SPR.

Yeah agree with Harv. Played it fine. If you bet river your hoping he has like exactly KQ? You hit SDV so show it down. Well played.
