Villan is a 2p2er and is capable of making a move on this flop without nuts ;D.

ZOMG spew.

If you have AK here, it's slightly better since you have some real equity against opponent's range.

Looks like spew, what is your image at this table?

[wrschultz]

This is fine sometimes for sure... If your opponent will fold 88 and TT here, this is a totally acceptable play.

[James00]

I have been tight and have not gotten out of hand at all.

[Imrahil]

Don't know why villain would raise you here with the BB still active as a bluff.

If they call with 99 it is unacceptable?

[James00]

My line is strong and they fold tens down. 44/66 'usually' call flop here and thats a small part of his pf calling range.

Do you guys just say its spew because you are sooo ABC? Are you able to look past the strength of your own hand.

AK isn't a large part of his range here at all, 2+2er prob RR pf ak quite a bit. This bet tells me he has one of three things: the goods (pay me!), a flush draw(slow down!) or a mid pair(do you have AA?). Also this play helps you get paid off more when you actually have AA if you show down. So... I like
