Default Re: A8s in the CO

I can't say that I usually wait for the river to raise in this spot James. But I think it has some merit in this situation.

If you think villain is bet/folding the turn with something like KK/QQ/JJ then we will collect 1-2 more BBs out of him by waiting until the river to raise. Judging by his PFR from the BB and then flop/turn play, an underpair that doesn't believe you seems pretty likely. I think it is a very goofy way to play a big ace and would put little weight in him having one. I like waiting for the river; even if villain checks the river to us (planning on calling), we still gain an extra BB if he was planning on bet/folding the turn.
