Re: 1-2NL Hand At The Taj
[ QUOTE ]
CRAI on turn. The A is literally the best card in the deck because now you know he is full of it. If he has AK and hits the A he is more than likely checking behind the turn for pot control (look how scary that flop is!!!). The A is a standard scare card for the preflop raiser to rep when it comes on the turn but it almost always is a bluff.

I don't think villain is somebody that understands the term pot-control. Don't assume your opponents use the same strategy you do. If you CRAI you're investing $350 to win $400 in the hope your opponent doesn't have an A or another hand that beats you (set, two pair, straight). He's not folding any of those hands to an extra $150 raise, especially given the description of him. Villain is not going to be bluffing or calling with a worse hand often enough here to make this profitable.
CRAI is a horrible play in my mind.
