Default Re: Should I have raised???

EMC,

You like line?? why??

Thundercat,

I dislike it. Firstly, Raise to $4 or $5 with AK UTG. secondly, why the hell did you check that flop? If I'm checking that flop, its certainly NOT to C/R. Put yourself in villains shoes: The PFR checks the flop when there's two aces there, so you bet and then he C/R...what hand would you put him on?? Surely your line get the LEAST possible money from a weaker ace.

Your other options on this flop are to lead or check/call. I prefer the lead, because in a way it looks like you DON'T have an ace. Sure, this might make all villains fold, but you're not winning a big pot here unless an opponent has an ace anyway. The check/call line is ok, but I don't think is maximises value from a worse ace. So:

flop lead > check/call >> check/raise
