Re: 50NL ak top pair vs check raise
Nice discussion guys.
This is a major strategy point I have been looking at.
When first learning the game one of the first things we learn is -
- DONT give free cards
- DONT slowplay.
Checking is counter intuitve but I think it plays best against his range.
I think a check is optimal here since betting does not give a TAG a chance to make a mistake with his range.
55-JJ - Is either going to fold correctly (or if he has a good read on us try to force us off the best hand)
AQ,QQ,44 - Is going to put us to the knife, we are playing into his hands.
Draws - OK so betting is probably best against draws but that makes up only a fraction of his range.
BTW - Im not saying I have all the answers either Im just discussing this important point.
