[gochillgo]

Raised AK from the button before the flop. Flop comes with low cards, and villain who called preflop raise now jams! Is hero still able to call this jam?

Unless you have very specific reads on that player as an unhinged window licker, I think you have to fold.

Simple math says no. It's likely you have 24% equity here, but probably less.

Preflop I like your raise sizing vs the fish. Take notes on the board textures etc when he jams. I am assuming he's donk jamming with top pair here. It sucks when another reg gets to scoop up the fishes stack before you, but still we can't be making -EV calls.

That overbet looks real strong on the flop then jamming like that, could very much have 99,TT,JJ,QQ,AQs+ AKo, you block AA and KK combos significantly. I’d say it’s unlikely AA. KK sometimes. With the huge overbet. You don’t have enough equity to call

Villain facilitates your life quite a great deal. Impossible to be calling down after MP shoves, even considering the SPR, because for most weak hands MP can display now, for example A8, or A6, we are not winning, so the fold will save us blinds for later.

Ah ok, A8 or A6 seems to settle my mind over what he could probably be jamming with, interesting read. Thanks!
