Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 5692135, member: 397965"] Preflop Given that BTN has called our initial raise, I lean towards 4-betting AK, which is also my default line in general. If you get jammed on or 5-bet in some way, its usually fine to then let it go, especially when you are 200BB effective. The reason, I prefer a 4-bet, is, that I think, AK is way ahead of SBs squeeze range, and I dont want to invite BTN to stick around with position on me, so that I am monkey in the middle postflop. 4-betting also serve to put a break on overly aggressive 3-betters on regular tables, where people remember, whan happened in previus hands. Flop Because you just flatted the 3-bet, stack to pot ratio is a little deep with 4,5, which is a bit of a tricky spot with TPTK. Its right in between, that we automatically stack it off, and that we dont stack it off. His C-bet is pretty large, and there is a guy left behind, so I think, just calling is fine. If we raise, we might mostly get action from hands, that beat us, and we take away our option to possibly fold later. Turn The J pairing is actually a good card for you, since now there are less combos available of AJ and JJ, and he really should not have other JX hands like KJ or QJ to often, when he take a line like this. His sizing is also very small, so you have a mandatory call. River Now the KQ gutshot got there, and he moves you all in. This is a bit of a gross spot. There are not to many hands, you beat here. Maybe an overplayed AQ or a hand like KdTd, which was semibluffing and decide to still bluff the river with bottom pair. It could be a chopped pot against another AK. This is actually one of his more likely holdings, and even just for this reason you probably have to call. I put the hand into eqilab, and if we assign him a range of AA, JJ, AK, AJ, and KQs, then you have 20% equity, which is not enough. This is however pretty much a worst case scenario. If we add just two combos of hands, that you beat, which could for instance be a partial AQ, then you have 30%, which is enough to make a break even call. Conclusion This was mostly just an unfortunate cooler, and I think, you played postflop fine. I do however also think, that you should have 4-bet pre, and this would likely have changed the outcome, since its difficult for AJ to call a 4-bet out of position. And if he did indeed call, then at least you made him to suck out on you, and you win more, when this does not happen. [/QUOTE]
