Default Re: rethinking a standard bet spot

We may occasionally bluff off a better ace that raises, but the board being what it is, semibluffs are more in our range, so we may be called lighter.

This seems like the best reason to play our hand fast. Our hand is basically a semi-bluff if we're getting callers, but one with a ton of outs. If you bet the flop, you can credibly represent QQ/AA/AK/AQ later, although it's a double edged sword as they might get away from their hand when you hit. Against bad players, I'd be more likely to check as they can make some really goofy calldowns later because of it.

If it's a close decision, though, when in doubt get the $ in when we have such a big equity advantage.
