mbml's Celebratory Black Member Coaching Session

hi, thanks for the positive feedback

anyway the hand is simple, basically I squeeze from the big blinds with AKo and the small blind calls again. His range looks like 77-TT and AQ mostly because he is OOP, i don't really expect anything worse like KQs or AJs and i doubt he will ever have stuff like AK or AA or KK cause he would reraise me again after I squeeze and I doubt he has smaller pairs or speculative hands cos it is just not +EV for him to play any of those hands.

The board is AT7 with two spades (rather irrelevant because he can hardly have a flushdraw here but still a weaker player might put some flushdraws in his range). I cbet and I get raised here.

so basically: Folding >>> Calling > Shoving

because people don't really c/r AQ here since AQ is essentially a bluffcatcher vs TT/AA/AK which I can have here pretty often so by raising he is just isolating himself vs my strong hands. People also dont randomly c/r Ace high boards because it smashes my preflop range of AK AA and AQ and people never really fold top pair top kicker in 3bet pots. So I conclude he has a set here really often and despite his value range being narrow, his bluff range is close to non-existent and I should be folding, or at least calling and folding turn to more aggression.

That's great!

Thank you very much for spend the time to explain it to me; very appreciate
