Re: The Turn
That 2nd ace is a bad card.
The call from the PFR looks like one of two things:
Big Pocket Pair or slowplaying AK or more
If he has a hand like JJ, the 2nd Ace will keep him in the
hand because It's now more likely I have something else.
Of course, most folks just can't lay down KK-TT here with or without that 2nd ace, if I try to lead with 77 here, I will back down if called.
BTW, I'm also leading here with an Ace-Ten. I mightlay it down if raised, but I'm not going passive and I'm not going to check-raise either unless opponent is very wild.
I think I like leading with 77 here, but it feels too cute for a 4-8 game. If people know I will bet my aces here, then my 77 could get a fold, but somehow people just can't let go of their big pairs, so until they start laying down when I bet my actual Aces, I'll save my chips for another move.
People love to create the scenario that makes calling correct. JJ will call because I might be betting a draw. Now maybe the reality is that this bet is an Ace or better most of the time, but that won't matter. I "could" be drawing, so they call as if that is my hand.
