[Closed] 6.50$ AKo UTG

I'd make it 150 pre. Cbet looks ok, I think you can go for half pot instead of 2/3 though (one opponent, paired board, he shows weakness by checking, etc).

Agreed with 150 preflop... makes your c-bet cheaper... I still tend to c-bet this though, it'll be profitable longterm, but you gotta fold to the raise even though it is a common board for an aggressive villain to bluff on... As for checking behind, yeah, there is definitely an argument for it, but I think you take down the pot here too many times with a c-bet not to do it

I really prefer 4 bb's UTG at this blindlevel at these low stakes.

First, my range is really strong here, sometimes AQ, but mostly TT/JJ+ and AK. There for, inn most cases I really don't mind that the pot is a bit bigger preflop, since most of my cbets will be valuebets.

Second, I've noticed a lot of difference for some players in the way they tend to call a lot more with SC's, flush possible hands etc when you raise to 150 instead of 200/175.

Btw, when there is a limp in front of me, I do raise to 3*bb +1bb per limper.

This. Checking behind is not good here unless you really want to induce a bluff and then call-down with A high. Our outs are too weak and too few to check and try catch them.

What about this?

Small difference but tbh I want my opponents to come along for 1/10 of their effective stack with suited connectors and the such. Makes our postflop "advantage" higher as well because we are not as easily committed etc.
