AKo BB - Only 17 Hands on Villain

If u wanna make him fold u must bet twice including turn and river and still in micro stakes its less likely that he folds. IMO well played

Squeezing with unpaired hands is a bad play at the micros if you don't follow up with some aggression, the reason being that people rarely all fold preflop, and then can easily take the pot away from you. Your hand is totally face up.

As played, by the turn, his hand is almost face up too. He is unlikely to have a pair. A pair should bet for protection versus your obvious AK to end it there.

Playing with AKo in multiway without position is even worse

Should I Jam the flop? Make a Cbet - How big?

You are taking a quote out of its context. Please don't do that.

Actually, it is worse than that. You quote an incomplete sentence., just chop it off. This is a big no-no.

I like the squeeze, but at some point postflop we should start betting...

Most, including me, say squeeze. But don't play fit or quit postflop. If you do so, calling is actually better, since you hit only like 30% of the time and will be super-easy to play against when you 3-bet.

I think we might actually have the best hand on the river in decent number of cases because I expect all overpairs to bet the flop and Jx to bet the turn and I don't think he has something like A4 very often, given that he called a preflop squeeze. Since we need 24% of equity to profitably call the river, I think that bluffcatching would be an interesting option there.

As the flop play is concerned, I don't expect to have much fold equity on this board and we only have overcards, so I don't mind checking. Since his range, when called a squeeze, is probably something like mid pockets, I think that check/folding is fine. The preflop squeeze will be profitable itself and we will win some pots postflop with our equity, so we don't need to fight for every pot. If we cbet, I feel like we have to plan to barrel most turns. When he checks back the flop, I think that one option would be to bet the turn and the river, but I don't like it much since his flop play indicates that we might have the best hand, so I would rather play check/call turn, check/fold river and if he checks back the turn, I would check/call the river.

I totally agree with the first part.

You may be right that he isn't folding on the flop, but we aren't talking about fold equity. That is when he folds a pair or better, which he will not. But I'd be happy if he folded a worse hand. (How much we should actually barrel in total post-flop (and on which streets) could probably fill a thread or two:f_biggrin: At least one barrel somewhere is a must imo.)

Isn't that advice some-what contradictory considering what you advised previously?

Berezovaya, YohanN7, nitrol & Alleen86, thank you for some solid advice.

So taking away from this, I will follow up my squeeze with a c-bet on either the flop or turn(probably flop), to represent what I was representing pre flop and because I don't want to make myself predicatable and easy to play against.
