$.05/.10 FL HE Full Ring: AKs overpair on flop at FL micros - fold this hand?
I've been trying to plug a leak of mine which I'm sure many newbies like me have -- playing overcards on the flop. After losing too many hands with them, recently I've been trying to fold overcards ... unless they are 1) huge suited hole like this one, 2) I'm in position, and 3) I'm only facing 1-2 opponents. That's sound reasoning, no? Let me know if that strategy is even too loose.
Anyhow I can't exactly call this a bad beat, but I'm not sure if I should have seen this through to the showdown. Keep in mind that this villain is an agro player, and I turned a flush AND straight draw and these are. (Plus these are micolimits). Should I lay down these kind of hands:
full tilt poker $0.05/$0.10 Limit Hold'em - 9 players
Pre Flop: (2.4 SB) Hero is UTG+2 with A
K
UTG calls, 1 fold, Hero raises, MP1 calls, 4 folds, BB 3-bets, 1 fold, Hero calls, MP1 calls
Flop: (10.4 SB) J
4
T
(3 players)
BB bets, Hero calls, MP1 calls
Turn: (6.7 BB) 8
(3 players)
BB bets, Hero calls, MP1 folds
River: (8.7 BB) A
(2 players)
BB bets, Hero raises, BB 3-bets, Hero calls
Final Pot: 14.7 BB
Hero mucks A
K
BB shows A
A
(three of a kind, Aces)
BB wins 14 BB
(Rake: $0.07)
