Re: A5 in BB flops middle pair
 

any ideas?

maybe you prefer a larger flop bet? the reason I only bet 1/2 pot is because I think its enough for him to fold a hand like JTs. also, I dont really mind if he peels a good ace trying to get to showdown if I check turn.

seems pretty standard. maybe bet 250 on flop?
