Hey guys,
Pokertracker rates me as Tight-Aggressive/Passive (AF 1.6), so I need to find the spots where I need to be more aggressive postflop, and this hand seemed like a good place to start.
Didn't have a lot of hands on the villain, vpip of 58.82, pfr 11.76, AF of 0.5, but only 17 hands.
Some of my thoughts are between the streets, if you see any flaws in reasoning, feel free to correct me. I love to learn. ♦
Hand converted with online PokerStrategy hand converter:
$0.1/$0.2 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (10 handed)
Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A:d, K:c.
3 folds, MP1 calls, Hero raises, MP3 folds, CO calls, BU folds, SB calls, 2 folds.
Standard raise preflop with AKo.
Flop: (8.00 SB) 7:c, 8:c, 5:c (3 players)
SB bets, Hero calls, CO folds.
Excellent! Flush draw, with overcards to sweeten things even more. SB donks, which suprised me a bit. No idea what he might have. Could be a flushdraw with A of clubs, straightdraw, straight, set of 8's, high PP.
Should I have raised here, even though I'm not drawing to the nuts?
If he re-raises, do I cap?
Turn: (5.00 BB) J:c (2 players)
SB bets, Hero calls.
Flush completes, the only possible hands I'm behind are straight flush and Ace high flush. SB bets again, I decide to call down as I could be behind.
River: (7.00 BB) 8:h (2 players)
SB bets, Hero calls.
8 is not a really great card as it might give SB quads, so I just call again.
Final Pot: 9.00 BB.
Results follow (highlight to see):
Hero shows a flush, king high (Ad Kc)
SB shows a straight, nine high (9d 6d)
Hero wins with a flush, king high (Ad Kc).
Questions for this hand:
Should have I played it more aggressivly on the flop?
Is this a way behind / way ahead situation once I hit the flush on the turn?
Thanks for reading/answering. ![]()
