GtrHtr, that's fine. But if I bet or check/raise flop what do we expect to happen? I expect he folds everything except sets (I don't think AQ or the like is in his range). I took this line specifically because of the fact that he can 2 and 3 barrel me. I saw it as the only way to really get value from a worse hand than mine. You disagree I guess???


BTW what is "ffs".

The reason you want to bet the flop is for value. In a rr'ed pot with a call pf, you will get a lot of value from AA oop by betting and getting worse hands to come along. Don't worry if they fold. If they fold to your flop bet or flop c/r then you got the most value out of your hand you were going to get.

So put him on a range, lets say he calls your 3 bet with TT+, AQs+. The only hand you are behind in that range is QQ on the flop. AQ will and AK may come along, AK thinking he still has 2 overs and AQ has flopped TPTK. TT is less likely but may call one street if you bet out, but fold to a c/r. JJ will likely still call but fold to a c/r. Both those hands you will get value only on the flop so betting or c/r doesn't really matter that much. QQ you're smoked, and KK will call or rr you the whole way if you lead or c/r.

Analyze all that info and determine your best line.

I'll leave the subject of slowplaying, which is what you did, to someone else but I will rarely slowplay at 100nl or 50nl simply because bad players will call with weaker hands all day long. This villain isn't a weak player on avg, but I wouldn't adjust my line regardless.
