What does raising on the flop accomplish?

If everyone calls, you've successfully cashed in your huge equity advantage. If you force folds, you make it easier for your A and Q outs to stand up. Either way, you win.

I should have grunched this one, because I probably wouldn't have caught all the right plays. But I'll re-iterate them here for my own learning and for anyone else who failed to grunch.

PF-- reraise as AQs fairs favorably against an MP raiser.

Raise flop -- if cold called you get additional value, if villains fold it may protect your outs and get you a free card.

On the river -- button is unlikely to call two cold without a winning hand, but he might call for one. So you have similar upside by calling but without risking a 3-bet from BB.

This is a good learning hand.

3 bet pre flop, bet the flop, check the turn and raise the river. Win monies.
