Bad fold, laying down KK after just one bet. His M is only 8 and he saw weakness from you, your check.

I think the best hand he has here is a crappy ace, but most often he's doing this with a queen to keep you from betting him off (prepared to bite the bullet as the aggressor). Pretty marginal, I guess it's pretty read dependent. Can't see why he's betting into the aggressor with an ace though.

I would hazard a guess and say hes got AK or AQ.

If he had AA I would have expected him to re-raise you pre-flop. He would want to fill the pot up to the absolute max.

I Suspect he actually had AK or AQ but for my liking he seems to have put too much into the pot pre flop for it to be AQ so I suspect he had AK. There was a potential flush draw so naturally he didnt want to risk slow playing and giving you the chance of hitting the flush.


You did the right thing and limited the damage. One step further and you would have had it.

but the extra 6k represented almost half my stack........ that's what I was thinking

I really had an Ace feeling...... since he called my preflop raise

Wasn't sure if it was AK or AQ but I really thought an ace.....

Problem is he's hopefully reraising with AK and i have a hard time putting him on any other aces

yeah but he also could call pf raises with KQs or depending on the fishiness it could be QJ or something too

Agree that it's pretty marginal and read dependent.

The line just doesn't fit a monster like AK / AQ / QQ: why would they flat call you pre-flop, and then why would they shove this flop?!?

I think you're more likely to be up against either KQ, QJ, a weak ace or a bluff.

The weak ace is probably the most likely as all the other hands would surely have to fear that, as the pre-flop aggessor, you could have an ace and that shoving into you could be suicidal.

Maybe AT/AJ - they'll figure you might've been getting cute with a lower suited ace or something, and they're ahead of anything except the highest aces and QQ if they get called.

Since we've only invested a small amount in this hand so far, I think we just throw it in the "too hard" basket, fold and move on.

It doesn't matter how many bets, the flop is what matters.

I would say though, it is quite tough to make a bet on that flop for freakakanus that doesn't get him committed to the pot. 2500 or less is pretty weak, and if that re-raise comes the odds say call. Plus, the all-in more-than-the-pot bet makes it look like a queen but the villain can't do much but shove with his stack even with an ace.

I would say I could very well have called just because AK is not likely due to our two kings and the pf action then it is working out how often it is something like A8, A9 and how often it is a queen. Very tough spot, I probably make call against my instincts and cry.

It doesn't matter if it looks like a bluff or not. The villian played his position well. If it was a bluff, so what. Good play by him. You still have more chips than he does and can play freely onward. The likelyhood of AQ, QQ, or any Ace here outweighs the need to bust this guy. In tourneys, you gotta look at the big picture. It's not worth the risk to call here.

I say: Good fold and rock the next hand.

I think this is a lot closer than a lot of you are making it out to be.

Because it won't look to villain like you have an Ace (both statistically and because of your flop check), he could be doing this with some Qx hands, flush draws, or even total air. AK doesn't generally limp-call, AQ probably doesn't shove the flop (and both the above hands are unlikely from a purely statistical perspective), so maybe we're looking at AJ/AT as two realistic hands villain could have that beat us and make sense, with some weaker Aces if we have an 'overvalues Ax hands' line on villain.

If we're behind, we have the small consolation of (probably) 2 outs and a couple of runnig draws to fall back on. Plus we're not calling off our stack - if we call and lose it's a hit but we'd still be sitting on a decent stack.

This is really close imo, and I would find myself making herocalls here sometimes, I'm sure. That said, I can't fault the fold at all, but I can fault those who are saying or implying that this isn't a close decision.

Yea i don't think he has to have an ace here. Statistically he is probably putting you on a hand like TT/JJ when all the aces come up and you check, so he could very well be shoving knowing that you can't really call.

PERSONALLY, i don't think that the wa/wb concept applies when you are OOP. If you check a scary flop you allow anybody who missed to take a stab at the pot (and why wouldn't they...if they missed that is their one chance to win the pot) because they have position on you. I'd lead out here i think (1.5k or so is probably enough) then fold to a shove. I honestly think he would shove with Qx tho, because if he isn't putting you on an ace then KK is most likely the only hand you have him beat unless you have him outkicked (and in a pot like this the kicker might not matter coz a tie is realistic if you both have a Q). If he really hit trip aces i don't think overbetting the pot that much is a likely move...really seems more like he has a Q and is trying to chase you off the pot. I'd fold in a heartbeat if only a single ace was on the flop, but with aces pairing it is a hard decision because not only is it less likely that he hit the aces, but also less likely that he thinks that you hit the aces, so he is more likely to bluff at it.

And if he was playing pretty loose preflop, i think i'd call this no matter what. If he was playing fairly tight however, i can fully understand why you are scared of him having an ace since KQ/QJ or an underpair are about the only hands you have beat.

As played you probably have to fold, but i disagree with a flop check here. In position, sure check the flop, but OOP i don't think you can allow somebody to take a stab at a pot like this. The ONLY reason he would check the flop is if he had decided to completely give up on the pot and check/fold, which is unlikely given the size of the pot to his stack.

I find it very hard to beleive he has AK AQ or QQ here. IF he floped a house I highly doubt he is pushing here. AK probably doesnt play this way either. I doubt he limps with AK but goes all in with trips? It could be a deception play here pushing with a really good hand but I find that not too likely.

WA/WB doesnt really work here because he is so low and has only a bit more than the pot. Since its a tourny this isnt going to be kept low.

If you had any information on this guy it would be very helpful to put him on a hand PF.

I think this is a call though. Very few players push here with and A, and he shouldnt really be worried about a draw here, what could you be drawing with? I would guess he has a middle pair here, maybe QJ or KQ.

The odds here are too good to fold I think, you are getting over 1.8:1 and I dont really see a push with an A here. You checked and showed weakness and he though he could take this down.

I think when you see this flop your plan should be to check-call. Check-fold here is extremely weak. There are a lot more hands without an ace that fit his betting that hands with one.
