GG Poker - $0.50 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 162.22 BB
SB: 101.24 BB
BB: 71.36 BB
Hero (UTG): 119.6 BB
MP: 278.22 BB
CO: 104 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has 8♣ 8♦

Hero raises to 2 BB, MP raises to 11 BB, fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero calls 9 BB

Flop: (23.5 BB, 2 players) K♠ K♦ 8♥
Hero checks, MP checks

Turn: (23.5 BB, 2 players) A♠
Hero checks, MP bets 17.64 BB, Hero calls 17.64 BB

River: (58.78 BB, 2 players) 9♦
Hero checks, MP bets 26 BB, Hero ? ?

The villain looked like a tag but on a loose side.

I felt tempted to just shove on flop because these small boat are vulnerable in this type of situations. What do you think about that one. Just jamming on flop? I'm just saying because the villain likely has a ton of King in the 3bet range.

Do you still wanna CRAI on river or just call?

Thoughts?

And... what about folding preflop to 5,5x gigantic 3bet preflop?
As for postfop I'm nit but I would shove this one. His 3bet preflop is ridiculously big and he doesnt cbet on board where he has bet range so I assume he is weaker player.

I would be more tempted to check/shove the turn. Lots worse will call, like AK or KQ. Never mind that AK gets there OTT.
But in answer to the topic question...
When there's a shark around, the bigger the boat the better.

Yeah, I think it's a fold like 98% of the time. Why did I call? Because I knew. I just knew.

:f_mad: The answers is no! He might have tons K but he will have tons of other stuff as well. So i am gonna check OTF. As played what to do OTT really depends on V. Its a good card for V's range. I am tempted to check raise there. It really depends of how wide is his 3bet range. But check call is not that bad, it's a good card to represent as well.

I am gonna shove OTR. You seek value out of naked A. It's hard for him to have AK unless he is super tricky. I expect to cbet flop with it. You are on the top of your range.

I'm not so sure because the reason you want to 3bet on larger side with AKo is for the preflop FE. Once you flop this HUGE with position and oversized pot on hand, I don't see how checking back AKo is such a bad option. For the same reason, I like a smaller sized cbet on flop for bluffs. Not that I ever bluff. Never bluff. Bluffing is terrible for your win rate.

Pre-flop seems like a fold or you think you can outplay villain post-flop. You doesn't get the right prize to hit a set.
Post-flop seems pretty standard untill the river.
It would be weird to lead shove the flop for 4 times pot and I would always check to the aggressor.
The river spot you need to think what kind of worse will call if hero will shove.
Villain could slow play trips on the flop and AA could be in villains range as well. Not sure villain would 3bet hands like KQ and KJ. Those hands are the few you could get value from if you would shove. Read less I would call villaindown.

Cheers,
