How I can play AK, AQ against a strong range?

Hello,

Against a guy with 50% F3b I'd rather make the 3bet a little bit bigger for value.
Also, we need to understand that people are probably going to stack off lighter against us because we only have 50bb.

Anyways, according to these ranges, we have 55% on flop against JJ-88, AQ-AJ.
It really depends on how often is the guy going to float OOP, but I am always cbetting here even if it is just to take down the pot.
If you don't expect him to float often, then I would give up on this turn, otherwise I would usually bet this turn and bet some good rivers.

Best,
Plamen

Hi, thanks for the your answear.

And if I 3bet to 9bb, the oponent call me and hit the same flop 6 :heart:8 :spade:2 :club:.

The pot is 19.5bb and I have 41bb of stack . If I bet half pot i got left 30bb, so what i must do in turn?

Example

Hero 50bb

MP open 3bb, hero 3bet 9bb, MP call 6bb.

Flop 6 :heart:8 :spade:2 :club:. 19.5bb

Hero bet 10bb and MP call.

Turn Q pot 39.5bb.

MP check, Hero??? stack bihind 31bb

And if the turn was something like 2 ?

This is thinking that the oponent call 3bet whit all poket pairs and AQ and always call us a continuation bet in this spots whit the intention of steal the pot in river.

And thanks for all your help. All you work hepl me a lot in my game : )

Hey,

You need to understand that in this spot you don't just hold a single hand but you have a range.

So, in order to determine how you should play AK for example, you should take a look at your whole range.

If you 3bet TT+, AQ+, then on this turn you pretty much could shove with your whole range and he is going to have trouble calling you because your range is quite strong.
If the turn was a brick though (such as the 2 ) we could bet all our PPs, and lets say half of our AK combos.
The other half of our AK combos and AQ we could check back and we are still going to have a decent game, because he is as well going to have trouble calling us and we still have some equity in the hand.

The other option is to check back some strong hands - such as KK+, in order to strengthen our checking range and make it less exploitable.

I hope I explained this good. If not, feel free to ask.
