Hello everyone! First post! ... I hope I'm doing this right. Please forgive me if I did any of this incorrect.
So. first off. this is 30NL, not 25NL, minor difference.
The entire stakes here, on all tables, were very nitty no matter which tables I played. Everyone is over folding preflop. Despite this I managed to build up to 150BB, and so did the villain. All of my premium hands are going uncalled, and I'm basically stealing all pots. I had VERY high "won without showdown" in almost 200 hands at this table. I've seen the villain make questionable calls against the maniac, chronic, short-stacker at the able various times, despite every time the maniac shoved he had 2 pair or better. So...overall a nit, but when given odds will make a bad passive call down. Out of nowhere, he raises 5x under the gun????????? like, why bro? Usually rec's do this and it SCREAMS AKo/AKs, they're protecting hardcore. But why on a nit table??? I look down and see QQ. I'm like, time to extra value. I feel a min raise to 9x would have been the right call, had I done that it would have ENTIRELY changed the way I played this hand....entirely.
I 3x'd to 15bb to get value from AK preflop. He calls. Not snap call, but quick. So now the pot is huge for the norm, approx. 30bb. Flop comes, low cards, no straights or flushes possible and I have a huge over pair. I purposely play my hand like a noob to represent exactly what I have. I 'know' he has AK, possibly AK spades, and I do NOT want to lose this pot. I'm HAPPY to take it down here. I don't want a spade, an A or a K. I don't fear the straight from this player.
So, I bet the pot. I want to take this now. He thinks for a second, but calls quickly. At this point, its the turn, straight gets there, but I'm not worried about that at all. At this point the pot is near the size of my stack, so I shove. If I'm good and I hold, I want maxiumum value.
Your opinions... PLEASE!
