Default Re: Flopped Boat Hand

* grunch *

If there were any other players trapped in the hand then I'd continue to go hard on the flop and win extra bets there but it's already heads up. If I was out of position I would also continue to go hard because I'd hate the turn to check thru. But since it's heads up and you're in position with a monster hand, I think this is the perfect time to only call the flop check/raise and go for the raise on the turn.

I had a similar hand recently. I raised AA on the button and the flop came AT8rainbow. The SB led, BB called, I raised, SB 3bet and BB folded (getting it heads up). SB was not the type to play a draw hard so I knew he already had a hand he was happy with. Unfortunately, I stupidly capped the flop; I could have earned an extra SB had I just called his 3bet and raised the turn, but my flop cap prevented him from leading again.
