No.

Edit - There's a danger of limping around, the SB rarely 3-bets so he's not folding to our shove. And limp/3-betting gives you a ton of fold equity, so you probably want to do that as a bluff rather than with a premium hand.

Okay,

So that was my error guys right? Instead of limping should have put in a standard 3 or 4x raise.

Then if/when SB 3 bets ... I mean with AK do I call and see if I connect w/ flop if yes then ? shove or ?? and if no then fold the AK ?

Thanks guys

was trying to fig out why I limped in first place may have been playing for a while and was trying new lines or maybe was just 3 of us playing.

In any case I wanted more feedback on this one particular hand

thx!

Saw this on 2+2, and the same advice there applies here. Raise to $.30, then 3-bets and 4-bets usually go $.85 to $2.40 for example. Then, if you shove, you pick up much more dead money while requiring much less % of folds from JJ or QQ for example to offset the times you run into AA.

Raise pre and observe v betsizing plus its tendencies then evaluate.

Don't limp pre.

Raise 3-4x.




As played...

I haven't looked at spoiler. This pot has already been 3b. You have to know you're gambling here. I don't think both Vs fold here too often (even though your line does look strong-ish).

You haven't said a word about your table image, or anyone else's. That would be useful information.


I don't like it. I'd fold here (to raise and 3b) to be honest. I don't think both of these guys are folding.



Now, off to check spoiler.


Edit: This is micro stakes too. Not too many 3b folds from villains. They tend to have it.

I was not at all surprised SB had it.

Don't limp this preflop. In fact, in online 6-max, don't open-limp EVER.

Once it's raised and 3-bet by someone OOP, it's time to fold, imo.
