AK - TPTK

Give some info:
1. Why do you 3b this hand vs UTG?
2. Why do you 3b that big?
3. What happens on turn?

I'd call here pre. Your 3bet is quite big indeed. I see you fold OTT, why? The 2 doesn't change much so I'd bet for value here.

1. It´s AK, I always wanna play this hand (maybe I can fold it when I´m convinced villain has got AA/KK). I don´t like calling there, so I raise.
2. Because villain has raised and I read it´s good to raise 3x his raise + 1 more raise per each caller (or something like that, I don´t remember the exact numbers)
3. I check and one of them bets 50BB, considering their calls to my raise on flop I suspected on of them having set.

The thing is I read that on microstakes I should never call. I only call when somebody raises and I have low pocket pair, trying to hit set on flop. I don´t know what that 2 does mean, but if I remember it well he bets 50BB there.

1+2. I like the squeeze preflop but call is fine too. Size is little too big but OOP 3rd in 4 - 4.5x the open is okay.

3. The hand history is fkd. Anyhow you should keep value betting the turn. Putting someone on a set is not good here amigo. If you bet and they raise then it is different but when you check these guys are gonna "protection" bet worse Aces than yours so you cannot fold. Take the fat value first anyway.

Yeah, but they both called my flop raise, so I didn´t think both of them had aces. I also didn´t think they would call me with pair of 10 (due to previous hands I played with one of them - the second one was playing like 3rd hand so I didn´t know him). That one guy I knew would fold to bet like that, so I put him on set.

After your flop BET they can have Tx or JJ-QQ/KK, AJ-AQ. All of those will/can call again.

Once you check they can bet Ax worse than yours so folding is bonkers imo.

Please don't put people on sets until they raise the hell out of you or something.

Now you convinced me, you are right, KK/QQ/JJ are very likely to be option as well. Anyway, that guy really had a set (of 7s) but the other one finished his straight on the river ♦ I feel sorry for the one who flopped the set.

I like a person who will change opinion - well played!

Well, I´m just at the beginning of my journey to bracelets, so I better get used to changing opinions ♦ Thanks for help man.

You have TPTK. You should bet the turn. As played, you should call the turn, JJ-QQ could bet after you checked. Worse Ax could also bet if they called you 3-bet preflop with a hand like AQ, AJs. You should also bet to get value from possible flush draws Also 50bb is small compared to the pot.

Thanks for advice, I agree with you.

Little off topic, I´ve just downloaded trial version of HM2, but there is too much of numbers and statistics, which I don´t understad, do you know any good topic of its explanation? Or if I search on this forum properly will I find some?

I also think that preflop squeeze is totally fine. Nothing wrong with the size either imo. I would make it 0,26 as a default (3x open raise + 1x for caller + 1bb), but it's not a big deal. I would cbet flop and turn, but would make it smaller, 1/2 pot. I don't see a reason for check/folding the turn when we are most likelly still ahead.

I remember there was an article or a couple of them about stats here at PokerStrategy, but can't find them anymore... Guess they were outdated and removed.

Now I get it.
Well, preflop squeeze is the perfect play here.
Flop bet is ok, but when you get 2 callers and the show aggression you are perfectly right that your hand is weak and someone can do this with a set.
