It's a new table with virtually no reads. I'm BB with around $250 in chips.
Hijack ($175) calls $10
Button ($300) calls $10
SB ($300) calls $10
Hero BB ($250) dealt AcKd raise to $53
Straddle Folds
The rest call
Pot $212
Flop QcJc 7c
SB checks
Hero...?
Besides Hijack with $125 the rest we assume have around $250. What's my play here. -
Cont bet and call a shove. I played a bunch of 1/3 at Aria last week and was amazed at how often people would call massive three bets pre only to fold on the flop to a standard bet. I feel like they're mucking enough for it to be +EV, but any hand they might jam you have a ton of outs to.

What makes the hand interesting to me is that I hold the ace of clubs. So most flush draw combinations are hard to find. I don't see anybody with a Kc10c or the like and I would think it's spewy to call 50 or so, given stack sizes, with any low suited connector. The real question is obviously check or shove.

I did and I thought it was the right play. My table tried to berate me for overvaluing AK and I did second guess myself. I'm not used to live play so I thought I'd get a second opinion
Best part was I got called by Jd10s, and lost. The guy said he put me on AK and high fived the entire table for a great read. Although clearly I was ahead when the money went in. -
lol wat casino is this
