Default Re: Live straddle with A4s on the button, and QQ in which I knowingly

Why even ask? You already know the answer.

Because it just feels dirty and wrong not to bet. Why ask? So you can say that to me and drill it into my head. Also, not that it matters but it crossed my mind, I'm essentially playing with my hand face up if I threebang preflop and check the dry K high flop.

That only matters if your opponents will take advantage of it!

Yes, check-folding QQ on a K high board is highly exploitable. But that's the point. In this case, YOU are the one doing the exploiting.

Any time you take advantage of your opponent's poor play, you are exploitable. If you use "I can be exploited if I do that, so I better not" as a criteria, you will not make much money in this game.

I do think that it's good to KNOW that you're exploitable though, and to know what you should do against a tough player in this spot! Then you know just how far you are going when you check-fold QQ here (hint: really far)

good luck.
