AKs OTB vs a simular size chipstack 3bet or call?

craigcu12 · May 2014

my readings on him so far were that he wasn't doing any limping the only times he had raised were when he has hands that are expected he did a donk bet earlier on a flop Jc 3s 2h when it was a 4 way pot , when the others then folded he choose to show his 99. so generally i'm thinking he is still a tight playing style at the minute, which brings me onto the question

as my chip stack is in good condition, their is no short stacks and as i'm OTB, can i just call AKs or was it always best to raise?

with stacks as they are personally i 3bet every time looking to get it in if 4 bet. i flat very rarely with ak but when i do im playing deeper than this.

3bet with the intention of fist pumping getting it in. Only time I might call is if the blinds are short and can potentially induce a 3bet jam from one of them.

was quite a simple answer and I didn't expect much.
the main reason I posted it was because of the stack sizes.
the sense was when he went all in I was thinking myself that i will be going on to see the flop in a flip.
i expected to loose this anyway if i din't hit my K or A.

pretty much what the rock said, i'd also consider flatting the raise if one of the blinds might squeeze.

as played it's perfect barring the river

Good comments from the guys, I would add that this type of situation depends on our opponent. Some guys will stack off on ace high/king high boards and against these opponents I love a flat. Others wont give credit to a button 3bet so against these I am 3betting all day long.

Regarding the bolded bit, I don't know whether you are missing a trick to put pressure on opponents as it seems like your waiting for things to happen (which can be fine on certain tables) but maybe you aren't getting yourself in the best position to build that big stack for the later stages.

Might just be the way you have worded it but something worth thinking about.
