AK facing 5 bet preflop...

[geno9]

only here a few hands, the BB is a LAGG donk .. everyone else seems to be a TAGG .. so i clearly think BB could be 5 betting this with a wide range but the 4 bet by the SB def has me concerned .. thoughts??

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (5 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Hero (MP) ($28.95)
Button ($24)
SB ($25.10)
BB ($20)
UTG ($20.80)

Preflop: Hero is MP with A, K
UTG bets $0.75, Hero raises to $2, 1 fold, SB raises to $5.25, BB raises to $8.50, 1 fold, Hero ???

if there's a time to fold AK pre, this might be it
you 3b, get cold 4b, and then get cold 5b
I think SB's range is something like QQ+,AK and even if you're ahead of BB's range you have like 40% vs. SB

and I'm not so sure BB is going to show up here with like K2o, I think his range might be something like TT+,AQ+ if he's completely unaware of relative hand strength and we're about a flip vs. that range anyway

Run for the hills.

fold, not even close

flat first time around

[Carroters]

Ez fold now. Unless utg calls 3 bets too much and opens semi wide utg then flatting is probs better.

Your 3-bet size is pretty gay though. I'd make it 3x so he's more likely to fold hands you flip with TT, JJ etc.

[bigspenda73]

sometimes the converter messes up sizing, anyways, I think his 3bet size is crazy secksy (if he did go $.75-$2 total) b/c it's fun to play 3bet pots IP against ppl who suck at poker.

[cleanup.that]

His range is smoking you right now

[StillDeadMoney]

With the small blind in with so little to call, you'd best step out of the way. Fold.

[hopeful]

i am very nitty but with AKo i would have maybe called the 0.75 raise from UTG. In a lot of circumstances i would have just folded. After the SB and BB raise its an easy fold

I agree, If you are seeing raises in that format, you can assume that likely two of them have a pocket pair with one probably higher than 1010. Now the first raise is likely an AJ or AQ, but with all of the raising, you might see an ace or king, but there could also be trips out there or someone trying to draw out. So with these raises it might be best to wait until you make the raise and can attempt a continuation bet if you dont hit. TD
