Re: Simple hand vs Robert Williamson, WSOP ME day 1.

How is raising the flop with a weak ace standard here? Worse hand never calls, better hand never folds and you bloat the pot with a hand that doesn't play well in a large pot at all.

My definition of "standard" is frequently done, which in my experience this is. I took no position on whether it was optimal.
I happen to think it is optimal because of the currently out of vogue find out where you stand and put pressure on your opponents rationales that also support the currently somewhat out of vogue continuation bet, but find some merit in the counterarguments advanced by Daniel Negreanu, David Sklansky, and to a lesser degree Chris Ferguson.
In this particular hand, what do you do after calling on the flop when OP bets the turn and river?
