lokibeat 0 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Setting: Local home game 18 player tourney, low buy in and freezeout. T2500 starting chipstack.About 4/5 levels in, blinds are 50/100 or 100/200, I don't remember which. I had won a big hand earlier, relatively speaking and was a large stack at the table, but not too distanced from the rest.I get AKs either in late position or on the button. Early caller, couple of more callers, I raise 3-4xBB. Blinds folded, but I don't think anybody else did. Flop comes AK7, two diamonds. I bet 500 into an approximately 700 chip pot. First position raises 1000, folded around to me, almost immediately I raise all-in.He thinks about it for a while, says, you can keep your big slick. I roll it over and say "good read". He was an average stack. Should I have smooth called? Drama and posturing aside, what errors did I make on this. We rolled the cards, and ironically, I would have filled out K's full of A's on the river. I had previously slow played quad aces - on the flop (not tough to do) and this player had congratulated me on the play.I had a great image in this tournament and I ended up winning it despite being trapped all-in AA vs A6 (9 high straight :-) ). Somehow I feel I may have left some money on the table on this hand.My gut said he had either KJs coordinated or A7, but to tell you the truth I was just betting because I thought I had the best hand. Now that I think of it, he may have had a set of 7's. Unlikely though since he folded. Link to post Share on other sites
Vade 0 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I like the all in here, because he could easily have a flush draw. When someone reraises me, most of the time in a tournament its either all in or fold Link to post Share on other sites
Uppie_ 0 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 well he didn't have sevens he maybe hit an ace, was the board suited at all he could have been re raising his flush draw trying to steal it from you thinking you orginally had like Queens or a weaker ace then you did so pushing in and winning the pot right there is ok, also ok if you were sataisfied with the amount in the for floping top two pair . never bad to have won a pot, getting more out of him depends on what exact whole cards you think he had. if he is playing an ace they maybe ya, if he is playing QT JT QJ may be hands if they hit could bust you or an under pair could be trouble too if it hits on the turn or river and you lose cause you got cute.

pokerplayer24 0 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Pot had to be huge at that point. Figuring that their is at least 1500 in preflop. So good play imo. Why let people chase in that spot. Even if its something as unlikely as a runner straight. Link to post Share on other sites
Hand_Cracker 0 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Even in a game with some friends, i wouldnt suggest showing them your hand when they name it. You are playing for money afterall, and this will only increase their reading skills and their trust in their reads. Overall your just helping them. Im not sure how often you play with them, but i just wouldnt suggest showing him his good laydown. In that position, you might just show him the king, but i wouldnt show either.
