aa flop decision

[george w]

it was short handed and i was raising a lot and mostly taking down flops uncontested in the last couple orbits, especially against villain. so i have no problem getting it in. the question is to raise flop or wait for turn. there's a small chance he has air but probably just top pair or less. maybe tens. i don't know if he'll stack off with a pair nor do i know if he'll fire again with air.

think for awhile, call, and then CRAI on the turn. if you push right now, it is less likely that weaker hands will call you, and this is as dry a flop as they come. if he checks behind turn, then just fire a vb on the river.

Could be up against a set as well, call and reevaluate on the turn.

We want to extract the most from him when he doesn't have a set. The fact that he "could" have a set shouldn't affect our line here, IMO. We aren't deep enough for that.
