This is the hand analysis forum where people come to learn how to play properly , not post rigtard and sob stories .
[/rant]

what were you hoping to achieve by shoving the flop , what hands that you beat will call a shove? can't think of any and you just ensure that you are called by hands that have you beaten like AA,22,33 and 45s

Don't call 3-bets out of position with a hand that will miss 60% of flops. 4-bet or fold spot here.

Thanks I wish I knew this before. I wasn't sure what hands were good for calling 3bets out of position, I'm assuming JJ+?
Why is position better with AK? If I had position with AK then would calling a 3bet be good play and why?
I usually 3bet in the blinds with AK is this bad?

It's not that position is better with AK (it's better for every hand), it's that AK is worse than say QQ or JTs to call with because it hits fewer flops. You'll likely face a cbet and it's hard to continue with just ace high.

Plus AK blocks combos of AA, KK, and other AK. So you generally get more folds when 4-betting.

3-betting in the blinds is fine. Initiative makes many hands more playable.

I loose 24 times staight with AK

when I start to play holdem I thinks AK is allmost best hand.So everytime I got AK I did pre-flop All-In
and loose all the time.
even I had AK two pairs there is straight made by someone or set of 3 with AK3 flop.
Now I hate AK (kidding):laugh:

AK and KK and AJ are very dangerous cards, you think they have strong cards, but it depends on the situation, I still have not found a strategy to always win with them.

What worse hand did you expect to call you when you overbet the pot by 4x with your all in on a dry ace high board in a 3-bet pot? I cant think of any ways you could have played this hand worse. I feel like you are missing a big part of poker. The idea is to get your opponent to make mistakes, by putting money in with a WORSE hand than yours. You removed all of the decisions from your opponent completely so they could play perfectly against you. [That is gambling, not poker.] Not trying to be a dick, but if nobody tells you, you wont learn, and we are all here to help eachother become better players.

An example of how this hand could have gone:
Hero raises, villain 3-bets, hero calls
Flop : 3 A 2 rainbow
Hero should be checking this flop for this reason: What worse hands will call you if you bet this flop in a 3-bet pot? NONE. You fold out all worse hands and only better ones continue.
Villain: will probably check behind for the same reason, IF the villain leads here, you call a reasonable size
Turn : 7, backdoor flush draw is now possible
Hero should be checking again, there are still no worse hands in a 3-bet pot you get value from, you dont want to stop the villain from bluffing, again call reasonable sizing if villain bets.
River: 4d
In this spot I would be bet-folding, value bet my hand for around 30% of the pot, with the intention of FOLDING if I am raised. The reason you bet here is because if you do have the best hand [which you will most of the time,] you dont want it to get checked thru. If the villain has a one-pair hand that is worse than yours [such as AQ] they will call. Only better hands will raise you on the river and you can fold.


Disclaimer: This is just an example of how it COULD have gone, and if your opponent bet like a crazy person you can find a fold on an earlier street. Also I was assuming the 3-bet range of low stakes is pretty tight, if they 3-bet light you can maybe take the betting lead and get called by a worse ace. The key is to understand that you need to be called by a worse hand, not just blow someone off the hand. Use reasonable sizing! 25%-50% of the pot!


When you play the hand out more rationally you should only lose like 1$ here maybe instead of getting stacked. Its kind of a cooler and you were going to lose no matter what, but poker isnt about ALWAYS winning. Its about winning the most when you have good hands and losing the least when you get into spots like this.


Hope this helped friend, better luck with your next AK :p
