NL25-zoom, A8s

Posted 7 years ago

Villains stats: Seat 3: Player3 ( $40.48 USD ) - VPIP: 23, PFR: 18, 3B: 7, AF: 2,2, Hands: 1479

My plan was to 4-bet and fold vs his 5bet. This time vilain made the 5-bet so small so I called.
What do you Think about the hand?


Please also take a look at my other post in the forum, see the link below:
BTN, defending-ranges
I need some advice here. How do you defend A2-A9s from the BTN vs 3-bet preflop?

A2-A5s I call, A6-A9s I 4bet bluff as you have here. Once he 5bets I'm not loving the call, even for those insane odds as the ability to realise our equity sucks and we are dominated a lot. I dunno. Folding seems crazy though I suppose you have to call and hope to smash the flop.

As played I'd fold flop I think. This is an awkward spot for sure. I don't often get into 5bet pots with A8s with a GS and 2 tainted overs to the flop though so never really tried to range people. I reckon this is QQ+ an awful lot.

Turn is turbo muck.

In most cases just fold to the 5bet here, he'll have AA a lot. The only reason why calling can even be considered is the stack depth. Going to be tough to play postflop though and a lot of chips are risk. Probably not worth it.

Assuming we call, the postflop line is fine.

Good hand to 4 bet with but almost everytime I've been suckered into calling min 5 bets it's AA.

As for the suited aces I tend to call the wheel Axs and 4 bet bluff some of the others providing the opponent is folding. Suited Kx too.
