Default Re: I spew with A high 4 handed

"i never do this, not saying its right."

I barely ever do this either, but the villains preflop line screams BS to me and this is the kind of flop that misses everybody quite often so even though theres 2 people behind the hero I would raise the flop cuz AT plays very well vs BS and the others arent that likely have anything on this particular board. The pot is also very large by my standards which also supports making this play.

"2 days ago was the first time id done anything like this in a long long time, i raised AJs on T99 flop w/ a bdfd vs a bb donk with a cold caller and the sb behind me. I did not get my desired free card however."

Given that somebody coldcalled you preflop and the SB semi-coldcalled you also, and the BB is not as likely to have BS, I dont like your flop raise. Although this board is paired, it is still the type of board to hit many coldcalling type hands. I actually would fold the flop in your hand example.

"i ck preflop as well"

FWIW: Against a limper and a SB complete I would raise here close to every time with ATo. Against 2 limpers and a SB complete I almost always call. This is my basic strategy with this hand. I cannot prove if I am playing this situation optimally.

"what is our turn plan when we raise the flop here assuming he calls and then cks a blank to us?"

If I get this pot HU against the lag, I am showing this hand down 100% of the time. That means If I bet the turn UI, it must be becuz I dont mind calling a check/raise. If I dont wanna face a check/raise then I would check the turn and call all rivers.
