Hi guys,
Today I will comment on a hand I played yesterday at Pokerstars. Hope you like it!
Well let do it...
First of all lets talk about range (in other post I'll talk more about). I am in early position (EP) this means that my range are very solid, about 15%. You can see better bellow:
I open 2.5bbs, this is standard in EP, and the Villain calls in the small blind (SB). When he calls in this position his range is very face up, some little pairs and connectors suiteds: I.E KJs, KQs.
FLOP
Knowing all this information I decide to check the flop.
TURN
On turn came a Jd, this card opens a lot of draws, and the Villain bets. This is a very standard call because there are many draws and when I have AK the chances of him having a J decrease. Why? Because when he calls in the SB two of the posibilities of his hand is KJ and AJ when I have AK in my hand this posibilitie decrease a lot. So I decided to call.
RIVER
And the river is a 4, which does not complete the flush draws, and he bets again. And I decided to call, WHY?
Well, at that point I had to follow my line of reasoning, so in my mind was the idea that the villain did not have the J and that he was looking for a draw, meaning he would not have a hand with better value than AK, It could only be a bluff.
I hope you like my analysis.
If you have any questions or suggestions, let me know in the comments.
