Hi guys,
Today I will comment on a hand I played yesterday at Pokerstars. Hope you like it!
Well let do it...
First of all lets talk about range (in other post I'll talk more about). I am in early position (EP) this means that my range are very solid, about 15%. You can see better bellow:

I open 2.5bbs, this is standard in EP, and the Villain calls in the small blind (SB). When he calls in this position his range is very face up, some little pairs and connectors suiteds: I.E KJs, KQs.
Knowing all this information I decide to check the flop.
On turn came a Jd, this card opens a lot of draws, and the Villain bets. This is a very standard call because there are many draws and when I have AK the chances of him having a J decrease. Why? Because when he calls in the SB two of the posibilities of his hand is KJ and AJ when I have AK in my hand this posibilitie decrease a lot. So I decided to call.
And the river is a 4, which does not complete the flush draws, and he bets again. And I decided to call, WHY?
Well, at that point I had to follow my line of reasoning, so in my mind was the idea that the villain did not have the J and that he was looking for a draw, meaning he would not have a hand with better value than AK, It could only be a bluff.
I hope you like my analysis.
If you have any questions or suggestions, let me know in the comments.

don't really like the analysis, it reads as if you are good here everytime (which you of course aren't)
should have given him a river range + show the odds you needed, at the very least (can understand why you wanne keep it short and simple tho - but still, a little analysis would help ;P)
I appreciate your opinion, but this is a basic, individual analysis. This call is not always good ... It is good for this isolated logic ... Poker is a logic game and can be similar but never the same, ie there are a number of variables and in this case they were right ... But this analysis is not an absolute truth.
i know (play for a living myself), good analysis for showing how you should think about a pokerhand tho :)
Yeah agree but I think he just tried to simplify it, here we have 25% Pot Odds as villain bets 1/2 pot and 58,8% of equity vs his range, good call.
well, i wouldn't give him that range, as he'd overbluff way way way too much
(atleast reduce some bluffcombos) - could split his ranges etc (villian has no turn ch/r or ch - ch - b line?)
but as you said: simplified - and i am fine with it! :)
yes, simplified
:D
