Re: Flop Raise/Fold -- Standard?
[ QUOTE ]
He doesn't have to get out of line very often to exploit this if it's your standard play. I would do this against some players, but certainly not an aggressive, seemingly decent unknown. I would just call down, because an aggressive player will often vb AK the whole way here, and may 3barrel something carp.
edit: Your line would be my standard on a Q94 flop fwiw.

hey admiral,
by standard i didn't mean that i always take this line... i just meant... is this a typical play in your arsenal. I don't know... I felt pretty safe that this guy was not 3betting the flop with AK after I raise him on the flop despite his PF cap. I'm playing under a new name and there is basically no way he could have expected me to make such a fold there, therefore it seemed okay. I agree that it is dangerous to make a habit out of doing this, but in some cases it is a good way to save money or to extract value form UI AK. At least I think....
EDIT: also, why do you like doing this on Q94 better than on 944? Do you think that the Q keeps him more honest because he will expect mje to calldown with it, whereas on the 944 board I clearly repping a PP, and he might hope its a mid pp and therefore be more likely to take a shot at getting me to fold
