This (un)blessed plot

AK when OOP can be a difficult hand. It's one of those hands where, unless you are careful, you tend to win a little or lose a lot.


I’ve only got a round’s worth of hands on opponent, during which he’s limped six times and has been relatively passive post-flop. This is his first raise pre-flop.

as mentioned in previous posts, I’m not a fan of cold-calling in the small blind. If I don’t take this down pre-flop, I intend continuing on any flop, although the level of the bet will depend on the flop’s texture
