$50 NLHE Full Ring: Deep Stacked @ 50NL

$50 NL HE Full Ring: Deep Stacked @ 50NL

MP (hero): $100
SB (villain): $150
BB: ($30)

It is folded to me, I find myself with Ad Qh. I raise to $2.50.

SB and BB call.

Flop comes Ah Qd 3d.

It is checked to me, and I raise to $7. SB makes it $21. BB folds.
SB is a solid reg and a winning player.

I call.

Turn comes Kd

SB raises $26.

If he had AK he's now made two pair. I had the sick feeling he was on trips. I still have outs though - one more diamond and I have the nut flush. An ace or a Q and I have a full house.

I call.

River blanks with a 7h.

Villain is all in ($50)

Hero???

If you're going to play this, you pretty much need to re-raise the flop. There's only 1 combination of sets, and the board is just too drawy to continue on with a ton of money behind. Get it in on the flop.

As a side note, playing deep stacked really makes things complicated, and I wouldn't advise playing deep by choice.

Yeah I think I would definitely reraise of just shove the flop. I would usually just shove, make it easier on yourself by not having to play the turn and river and put yourself in tough spots in case he catches up, and in this case he could very well have with the flush. Im not sure about AK, i think a lot of people 3 bet it and maybe even try to get it in, if he got trips on 33...that just sucks and you can move on but most of the time i think youre ahead on flop.

Best thing to do also is try to narrow his range with your bets, do you have manager or poker tracker? Stats help a ton, you can really see what types of hands they are likely to play.

My .02 cents, im terrible right now, and really trying to post/analyze some hands, see how i do! PLaying 25nl

Normally in spots like these I'd call with the intention of raising (allin) a blank turn if bet into or betting if checked to.

We have the nut redraw in case a diamond does drop, and the majority of villains won't c/r and then check the turn ..for some reason although people will raise/check behind IP a lot, they feel weird c/ring flops and then checking the turn OOP bc it gives up the initiative too much. Sure he could have 33, but if that's the case he gets my money, I have no problem stacking off with AQ here.

As far as just shoving the flop it'd be 70 more into a 50 pot meh... I think it's a little too much and probably folds out all hands bc 33+ anyway although A3 could conveivably call putting you on AK. I guess if villain raises a variety of hands in this spot including draws and will stack its ok

just dont play deepstacked. I honestly dont know what the best play here is. But villian is screaming to us he has a monster, I tend to believe and fold the turn. Although if i was in real time i would go broke.

You can't believe people every single time they tell you they have a monster unless they are super nits. Otherwise you just play weak-tight and you're a regfish.

I'm happy to play for stacks on this flop.

im fine getting it in on the flop too. But i dont think there is much we are going to beat on this turn, naked FD just got their unlikely AK got there and a set still beats us.

AQ hits your range pretty hard from the villains perspective so a check raise here is pretty strong. Not everyone raises AK pf all the time so its a possible holding along with a flush/straight/nut draw. If he has 33 curse the one you pray to. Because you posted this hand I am guessing you either folded or he had AK. You probably know there is nothing to analyze if he had pocket 33.

I'm not usually this nitty, I was just playing under rolled. I don't know why I was doing it at the time, but had I been within my limits this would have been a shove following the flop. I did end up folding.

Definite shove on the flop. JTs - raising for control - gets made. AK of course, 33 . . . You flop top two vs set you're gonna pay him, but other than you're charging him to suck out on you.
