The Key Hand

Having trouble laying down a hand like Ace-King is understandable – so if you have to fall in love with it, take it slowly...

 
 
1. John's Hand
John picks up A-K in mid-position and decides to raise three-and-a-half times the big blind to 7,000.

 
2. Opponent's hand
Following John’s raise from mid-position, the small blind picks up pocket Kings and chooses to re-raise to 17,000.


 
   
3. The Flop
John could re-reraise all-in, but decides to take a flop by calling instead. His decision pays off; he pairs his Ace and all the money goes in.
