No real history with villain; he had been playing tight in ~37 hands...
Perhaps AK suited being the biggest losing hand in my arsenal plays into my decision to fold, thus continuing the trend. I guess the question is: what would you do?

Hey Meister,
ReplyDeleteAlways glad to find another cash grinder blog.
My take on this hand is that you probably have to ship it in here. Since you took a funny line by check-raising the flop (the kind that might induce a light re-raise), I think you have to go with it. The only way that I get away on dry boards like this is with some tracking info that shows that my opponent is uber-nitty.
Another factor that should lean you to ship is that you are only playing 65 BBs deep. Your SPR is still at a kind of awkward spot - 9- but if it were the 13 that it would be if you had a full stack, it would be a bigger mistake to stack off here.
If he has A6/A4/44/66 then it's a semi-cooler. Can't beat yourself up over that on a dry flop like this.
@noldmax-
ReplyDeleteIt was not an easy decision, as you can see from my TIME bank. I think I timed all the way down before folding. I couldn't think of a hand that I beat here that wouldn't acknowledge a better Ace given the prior action. Hence the check / raise / fold line.
