Default Re: AQo 100nl, mutliway, TP on flop, how much to raise? reason? then w

So this is a pot control move. Okay, next question: if we were heads up with one of them and he bet $8 on the flop, would you then raise or just call? Does the tendency to call reflect that we are multiway, where the pot is growing 50% faster and we can gain more info by being last to act on the turn?

You don't raise for a few reasons:
- There's no value in raising -- better hands call and worse hands fold.
- If there was a flush draw on board then you could raise to protect against a flush draw.
- Calling also helps for pot control. You're 170bb deep, you don't want to usually play for that many BBs when you have top pair 2nd kicker...

Whether it's heads up or multiway, if a blank rainbow card comes on the turn, and it goes check-check...you should probably check behind and try and get value out on the river.
