Re: Aces face agression on flop
Interesting results. How did you both manage to lose $10 on the hand? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
Anyway, that donkbet alone doesn't scare me too much, but I start getting very worried when Villain follows up with a min/4-bet. But you're getting into that near-committed territory if you play against that 4-bet, and at least you know Villain is capable of playing for stacks on the flop with TPGK.
So it seems all right to me. Nevertheless, it is one of those hands where I'm not happy about how the action ultimately went, and as I watch the cards peel off and hit the board, I'm anticipating getting stacked.
Earlier, in the face of a donkbet that's a little over 1/2 pot, I think just calling is an option. The drawy nature of the board and the third player's presence does make me want to raise, but on the other hand having both a K and a Q on the board makes me want to be cautious. Nevertheless, since your main opponent sounds aggressive, playing for a medium-sized pot may very well not really be an option, and, really, I think your flop raise is fine.
