| Agreed. Need more info. WIth current info, unless you are SS in late stages of a tournament, this is a pretty easy fold. PF calls could bring 2 pair and straight possibilities that beat you on that flop. I would have made a small c bet to see where you stand in the hand, and fold to any resistance. Live to fight another day. |

| That's a pretty pocket and a dangerous flop for you. Being first to act, you needed to bet something and you got the information you were after. You do have to fold the hand. AK is still just top two pair drawing to a hopeful boat. If you got a big reraise facing you, you're either playing against a donk/crazy bluffer or you're beat. There are a lot of hands that could beat you and with more information, maybe I could provide a better answer. Table situation and preflop action would be what I am most interested in. The thinks like Storm mentioned. With AK, I do hope you raised preflop. Depending on how much would help to limit the range of hands your opponents might have. If you raised enough they are bound to have atleast faces. They could have the set of As, Ks, or 10's or played JQs and lucked into broadway. If they were playing a pocket pair or Q's or less (except 10's) you expect them to fold to an aggressive cbet post flop. Last edited by JMTalbert : 4th December 2009 at 6:23 AM. |

| re: two pair vs straight flop poker On the flop I either bet it for value or check, depending on my opponent (I bet a lot more often than check if I'm in position). If I'm raised all in (whether it's a check raise or ordinary raise), at 1c/2c I call even for 100bbs. Against competent opponents, I fold here sometimes but not as easily as the others who already responded say they would. You still beat a lot of hands, AQ is about the weakest you can hope to be up against and I'm not calling on the hopes of being up against that, but AT and KT are very possible here. AA and KK are extremely unlikely given that your opponent didn't raise preflop and you already know where two A's and K's are which leaves only TT and QJ. It's dependent on my opponent whether or not I call. |

| re: two pair vs straight flop poker ^^^Exactly. Sound advice here. *I hope you don't think anyone was picking on you for asking for more information. The reason we all do that is in order to give the best advice is to be informed. There are so many variables in poker to pay attention to, not just what the cards are. |
