more fun with AK 2010-01-17 - 12:50 a.m. After I was informed in painful detail just how awful I played those AK hands yesterday, then I resolved to make more effort to get all-in early with AK, with a sufficiently small stack. As a result, I played the following humor hand: I've got maybe $220, and the villain has me covered. I can tell from his yik yak that he is an experienced NL player, although he's an experienced 1-2 NL player, so you may decide for yourself just how much his experience means. Anyway, I'm on the button with AK of whatever. He's immediately to my left, in the small blind. Someone makes some small min-raise type deal, let's say six or eight dollars, call, call, it gets to me, and I raise to, let's say it's $24 in the pot already, and I raise to about $30. I may be a little on the low side, but you get the idea. He re-raises to all-in, which seems a bit of an overbet, but you know how the overbet means Jacks? Yeah, so, fold, fold, fold, it gets to me and I'm all jazzed up from my pep talk about getting all in with AK, and I go all in, which is really all in for me, since he has more money than I do. "I have a pair," he says. "I have a draw," is my reply. The flop is TT rag. "My pair is Jacks," he says, flipping over his cards to indeed reveal a pair of Jacks. "My draw is AK," I say, and I flip them over. The turn is another T. He's starting to smile. One more card to come, and I've got a puny six outs -- the remaining aces and kings. But wait a minute. There's another out. An out that we've never considered. The river card is, wait for it, another T. That's right. He now has quad tens, with a Jack kicker. I have quad tens, with an Ace kicker.
