AKs vs squeez from NIT

In over 100 hands this guy has 9/7 and he seems to be 3betting only value hands. His range is probably QQ+,AK or tighter here so you could fold already pre flop.
Still calling is not terrible. OTF I would normally call but vs this guy I think folding is good.

AKs is too strong to call UTG raise and in succession the squeeze. I would go broke with this hand before the flop.

Imo this is well played.

2 overcars + gutshot can be good reason for call if Cbet would be smaller ?

We can float with this hand here if villain would not be so nit.

No it is not. UTG opening range is tight and hes calling range vs 3bet is even tighter. If we 3bet UTG here we will isolate ourselves against very tight range. If we just call we might be able to get more value out of him.

When 9/7 rock with low 3bet % squeezes UTG opener and us we should maybe fold not go broke.

AK is standard call vs UTG.

Not at this level. Poor players open very wide from UTG at this level and we are missing value from their mistakes calling 3bets OOP. As a matter of fact UTG folded to a donky squeeze here.

We cannot fold top3% hand preflop, especially suited.

Having this tight villain, you can choose the lighter " just call" preflop version.

Right players differ. He may be playing right from all positions...
AKs is a hand to call vs UTG .

UTG here is unknown. I think we don't miss anything if we just call. Ofc we could 3bet but it is a matter of personal preference. I like calling more.

Okay let's not fold then. But if we call we probably face 3 barrel from villain and we might be beat even if we hit. That guy is a rock.

You call for a certain reason and you should not get wild with TPTK hand...

After all this slowplay we fold to a cbet heads up on the flop. How NOT to play AKs.

Usually this kind of guys play postflop very aggressively and bet bet bet when they finally have a playable hand. If we decide to play this vs KK+,AK range we hope to hit flush OTF. We do not get wild when we hit TPTK but what do we do if villain just keeps on betting big as he will most likely do? We are all-in by the river with our TPTK vs overpair or set.

Again this comes to the stats of our villain. In over 100 hands he has played less than 10. Now he squeezes vs us and utg opener. We have only BDFD and gutshot here. If we hit TPTK we will still be most likely behind since villains range is JJ+,AKs. If we call this flop cbet what do we do WHEN (not if) he bets OTT?

We are in for flush or top straight.

What do you think about folding OTF here with BDFD+gutshot?

As played I would continue, this has been played so weak so far, lets take a look at the turn at least....
