Default Re: $50NL AA Hand - I feel sick

JackAll,

I agree with a 3/4 pot turn, folding to a re-raise. But given villian stack size any appropriate river bet and i think all the money goes in. If hero bets $20 into the hypothetical $40 pot, I dont see how you can fold to a $7 raise into a $87 pot.

OOP,

As for check/calling, it depends on the reason you would do it. It doesn't work if you are doing it because you are afraid your behind given stack size and opponent. By the river villian only has a 1/2 pot size bet, and given his AF he will likely bet with a wide enough range that you need to call. Only if you had a read that villian would bet significatly less than a 1/2 PSB then could you consider c/c (Like a $10-15 bet).

I actually do like the c/c in this spot though. Unless you have a different read, his AF of 4.5 means he bets/raises alot more than he calls. If he checks behind he is more likely to have a hand that he wouldn't of called your bet anyway. So c/c to induce a bluff seems best, and given his stack I am almost always going to call regrdless of size.

If you are both deeper it would come down to the read I had on villians capability of bluff-raising the river. If villians not likely to bluff-raise (or maybe value raising in his mind with something like KQ) then a 1/2 PSB bet folding to a raise seems good. Otherwise I think c/c a reasonable bet is good (reasonable = 1/2 - 3/4 PSB)

**Disclaimer: Im a NL noob, so this advice may not be correct. Just my $0.02**
