This is one of those hands where im happy with the flop, but im also REALLY NOT happy with the flop. My thought was that i should try and get all i had in the middle as fast ass possible as im ahead of a lot of hands but i don't want drawing hands to see more cards. However, i can't figure out if that reasoning is solid. Any pointers would be appreciated Smile

Preflop is standard

I would not be sooo excited on the flop. There are not sooo many hands you will get value from. AK might and should 4bet BvsSB. AQ will maybe pay 1 maybe even 2 streets. the weaker aces will also pay only 1.So you are in a way ahead / way behind situation

when he raises it actually sucks that you have the Ad because you want him to have AXd to semibluff. Yes he could have 98d that semibluff or overplayed JT but over all your hand loses dramatically in value. Now it is more likely that you are not ahead but behind. you are flipping against 98d. You are ahead 75/25 against SD or FD.

I think your reraise is not the best play. You fold out worse hands and only get called by better hands. After his reraise it is clear that you are crushed. His range is AA,JJ,TT, KQ. your equity lies somewhere at 18%.

If you think that you have the best hand, let him bet turn and river as well. As you have the Ad you do not have to worry too much about the flush. I even would like to see your All In on the turn (i know now its easy to say) but you can easyly have the flush and might sometimes even fold out the straight.

I would make it 1.20 preflop, I'll be out of position and would rather they fold.

As played, on the flop I think I'd bet nearer 1.40-1.50, call the raise and on that turn I would check/call even if villain pushed all in. On a blank turn I could see me check/folding, villain will be pushing sets and straights far too often.
Not the greatest spot after getting raised on the flop and I doubt we'll be in great shape most times.

Just flat the flop raise. We are high up in our range but if we raise back we get rid of his bluffs and just get AI vs hands that beats us.
