After watching some of your hands I think the mistake you make very often is that your oo passive, you need to raise when you have such a strong hand, also your betsizing needs work, a good std bet would be arround 2/3 of the pot, that is rarely very wrong.

In this case raise pre-flop, bet flop bigger, bet turn bigger, just call the raise no value in re-raising on fold on the river (if you call the turn)

ok, so a varied raise of 3-6 big blinds pre flop ? and then a bet of 3/4 of the pot on the flop ?

I would say at least raise to 6 bb pre flop. Then the pot will be 13 bb, here I would bet arround 8 bb because he could easily have a worse ace in this hand.

In general you should bet arround 3 bb when everybody have folded to you, if someone calls just add one bb pr. player. And then bet arround 65% pot on the flop.

BTW you should try to get a bronze star in here so you can read some of the articles, and watch some videos, that should help you a hole lot!

Hey Adam!

Clear value3bet preflop. To 7-7.5bb with ak. You get ton of calls by weaker hands in this spot from villains on these limits!

After that you can continue with bet flop like 40% pot and shove turn against all weaker ax hands and 1card fds with a qx or something like these... Of course you're sometimes crushed by fds...

But honestly in a 3bettet pot (if you 3bet big enough) most suited connectors and small suited kx and ax hands are folding anyways. So villain is not having that many fd-combinations!

Greets,
Tiltberger
