these are probably the hands i have the most trouble with as i struggle to get away from them

for instance:

player 1 with a stack of 40bb bets 3bb from UTG2, player 2 with a deepstack raises his bet X3, i have QQ or AK with a deepstack, i should fold right?

another hand which is reaaaally lame is AA or KK, for instance, i have KK, bigstack raises from CU, im on BU and reraise him x3, he calls. flop comes 4s 3s 9h. CU checks, i raise potsize, CU reraises me x2.5.... he could be on a flushdraw or something, so i reraise allin and get called by the guy with a set of 3s... how are you supposed to get away from this hand on this flop?

thanks

actually i think i know i should fold AK or QQ to a reraise, its jsut hard.

i need more help with the second scenario having AA or KK after the flop and getting action, also if i have AK and an A or K flops and i get too much action say flop Ah 9s 3s i raise and get reraised or called then reraised on the turn, often lose my whole stack to sets like this


If you hold an overpair with AA or KK in a 3bet pot with 100bb stacks you have to go all-in by default and be happy about it.

If you 3bet preflop the way you should (3x or 3.5x the original raise) then with 100bb stacks your opponent doesn't get enough implieds to play for set value with his low pocket and makes a mistake by calling.

The same goes for AK that hits tptk, you can't be afraid of playing for stacks in such scenarios.

You will get a lot of value from hands like QQ-TT or top pair hands. You can't avoid an occassional loss to a set.

about the original topic, if a pot is raised then reraised in front of me i fold AK right?

as a basic strategy you should fold to a 3bet if you have not entered the hand with Ak or QQ and you have a full stack. It just can give you some very difficult decision post folp.

try to put your oponent on a hand range and then decide if it is profitable to call with QQ or AK,

Ie: if your opponent 3bet with JJ+, AK for example it is not profitable to push there. however if you know your opponent 3 bets with 99+, AJ+ it is. with no info I would fold.

This is not a 3 bet pot, so you'll often face people calling your raise to try hit a set. If I were you I'd put it in the hand forum and let a judge take a look and give you his opinion.
