My hand here was AK. In the CO this is for sure a raise. When the big blind reraises i was thinking about some PP.

Did i played my hand probaly?
I will let you all know what hand the BB had. But first i want to know if i played it right.

BTN: $2.12
SB: $1.97
BB: $1.91
UTG: $2.26
MP: $3.59
Hero (CO): $2.00

Pre Flop: ($0.03) Hero is CO with A :club: K :heart:
2 folds, Hero raises to $0.06, BTN calls $0.06, 1 fold, BB raises to $0.25, Hero calls $0.19, BTN calls $0.19

Flop: ($0.76) K :spade: T :diamond: 9 :spade: (3 players)
BB bets $0.73, Hero raises to $1.46, BTN folds, BB raises to $1.66 all in, Hero calls $0.20

Turn: ($4.08) 8 :spade: (2 players - 1 is all in)

River: ($4.08) 8 :club: (2 players - 1 is all in)

When villain squeezes here I think we can 4bet for value pre flop.
Post flop I don't like raising very much, I would maybe just call this down and see showdown as cheaply as possible.

This is a tough spot since we are almost committed because of villains big bet size and we probably go broke either way. Still there is a possibility that villain slows down with for example KQ and we don't have to put all of our stack to play. I'm not sure what is the best line here.

As played I think we most likely isolate ourselves against a range that has AA, sets, some strong draws:
MP2 31.01% 12.46% 18.55% AcKh
MP3 68.99% 50.44% 18.55% KK+, TT, AKs, AsQs, AsJs, AsTs, AKo

Agaist that range we would win only 12% and split the pot 18%.

Also when you decide to raise, there is no reason to leave that 20cents behind :)

Man, why do you just call preflop. We do not want a mw pot... And what hands are you going to 4b here? Only AA-KK? AK is a perfect hand for putting pressure.
The size of our raiseOTF is strange. Either push or call. Why are you leaving 0.20 behind?
I prefer calling.

Yes, this was indeed a 4bet as squeezing is mostly done with a polarized range and I tend to think it's been done on the weaker side of the polarization. All thoughts go to 4bet.
We cannot raise flop and it is indeed strange to leave 10bb behind.

You can also move in preflop. It depends on what you think generates the best FE (some people read big bets as weakness and will call with many more pp, here it would be correct).

Probaly the best move was to Squeeze or push it all in.
It was not the best move to keep that 0.20 behind. I was stupid enough to hit the raise button in stead of the all in push.

On the flop a had no more changes he had the NUTS. His hand was KQ.

Most of the time i think i lost the AK's so im getting a little bit of cautious about this hand.

Tnx all for your answer:f_drink:

KQ is far away from the nuts on flop...
QJ is something else...
