AK on dry board with a short(ish stack)

[maccatak11]

this hand happend in the deepstack today.

my stack: 8.5k, on the BB. Both the button and SB have me covered (about 20k each).

blinds are 200/400 and i get [ac][kd]

reads on villains. pkml (SB) very loose passive, seeing a lot of flops, and calling raises light, but giving up post flop. other guy, not sure only just sat down.

both the button and SB flat, i raise to 2k, and both call. (so i have a bit over 6k left, pot is also 6k)

Flop comes [td][7c][3h]

SB checks to me.

What are you doing here??

[bennymacca]

you could easily check and hope to peel a card off here.

any pocket pair is probably calling you here, from a loose passive player.

6k is still an okish stack.

i would check behind. having said that, this is a prime bennyjam spot

If you think they have hit, check/fold.

If you are fairly sure they have not, and don't have a pair, bennyjam.

I'm with Pete here - there are plenty of hands he is calling you PF with that you've got beat. If he has checked having hit mid or bottom pair you could be in trouble if he smells AK (lol). If I've hit mid/bottom here, and I suspect AK from the pre-flop raiser, I'm check/calling with any piece of the board.

This, and you're going to see this a lot from 55-TT, to something like 97 or JT. In saying that, I normally shove here, but checking back is the right move against these two opponents.

Your bet sizing preflop is too large IMO. It should be 1600 at most.

against 2 players, its a check i think.

if you were heads up pre, then jamming is ok i think
