Default Re: AK/AQ How do you handle OOP\'s betting small into a rag flop?

What ive found is a lot of players will bet this sort of amount with even ace high and weak kicker sometimes even a King high with maybe one spade. I think its either a raise of fold situation, id be inclined to raise it up........if he reraises in this spot its an instant fold. You need to either bet or fold to find out exactly where you are in the hand. Calling in this spot just isnt a good play IMO.

I think this is an easy call down. Most of the time they just keep mini betting and our outs are good.

The problem with folding to these micro donk bets is that you wont be able to pick off any reasonable money raising these type of players on the flop, even the somewhat decent players will notice that you'll fold to small donk bets and then they'll CB you tiny.

I see this alot where people are doing this as a bluff, they figure a PFR has a big ace and this flop misses you. I raise alot of these, I also call and fold some. A one time thing yes you can fold this pretty quickly.

exactly my thoughts when i made this post. As an isolated event, simple fold.

But once one person does it, everyone notices and i start facing these bets frequently when i raise and theres no facecards on the flop.

And for everyone pointing out the "low" AF in the example.. what would you do if the villain's AF was 1.5 or 2.5? still fold and let them buy your preflop raises every time you look like you missed? All while completely out of position and only risking 1/5th of the pot?

Consider ANY bet of $1 or below some kind of blocking bet or a check and RAISE it up every time, to about 3/4 times thier bet is generally good. You will take the pot down a MASSIVE amount of the time! As soon as they use it as an offensive ploy or reraise you then you be done with the hand!

I usually just ignore bets smaller then 1/4 pot from an OOP when I was PF raiser and c-bet as usual, it usually gives me the pot too.

If he calls, a nonspade comes and he minbets again just call, if the river isn't a spade and he checks then fire again.
