Another AK hand

Postby MindOverMatter » Fri Dec 24, 2004 2:19 pm

I dedicate this hand to all of you who helped me with my Aladdin hand from below. Thank you!

Party Poker $25 max No-Limit Hold'em (9 handed)

Button ($17.35)
SB ($25.55)
BB ($25)
UTG ($17.55)
UTG+1 ($52.71)
MP1 ($51.05)
MP2 ($20.45)
Hero ($28.8)
CO ($26.5)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with [As], [Kc].
UTG calls $0.50, UTG+1 folds, MP1 calls $0.50, MP2 folds, Hero raises to $2, CO calls $2, Button folds, SB (poster) folds, BB calls $1.50, UTG folds, MP1 calls $1.50.

( I decide to raise to try to narrow the field some. It doesn't work so hot here and I'm not happy with the result. MP1 pauses for a bit before calling my raise. )

Flop: ($8.75) [Js], [8s], [Kh] (4 players)
BB checks, MP1 bets $6, Hero calls $6, CO folds, BB folds.

(If MP1 is betting out this strong, there's a good chance he has two pair, but I'm not quite convinced of it yet. I decide to call and see what his action is on the turn but if I don't improve to at least a spade redraw I'm going to lay it down.)

Turn: ($20.75) [Ah] (2 players)
MP1 is all-In [$43.05]
Hero is all-In [$20.8]

(Then the perfect card for me comes and I can't hit the call button fast enough. Obviously MP1 failed to notice the ace as he was too excited about his two pair.)

River: ($59.35) [8d] (2 players)

Final Pot: $59.35

MP1 shows [Jd] [Ks] two pairs, kings and jacks.
Hero shows [As] [Kc] two pairs, aces and kings.

With short stacks like they have at Party, I may have just raised him all in on the flop.
The pot was $8.75 plus his $6 bet so its $14.75. If you call its not $20.75. Theres still 2 more players to act after you. if you call, they have great odds to draw to a flush or straight.

Hands like this are why the play is so much different depending on stack sizes.
