Re: Common Critical Situation on Flop: To raise or not to raise TPTK?
I'd like to know what the betting was pre-flop, but I'll toss out my opinion on the remaining play without that info.
If I hold A-Q I definitely raise. You're heads up, and the guy made a pot sized bet (almost), meaning to me that he probably doesn't want to see anymore cards (possibly Qx).
As long as the turn is anything but a King, I raise his bet, as long as his bet is less than pot sized. If he again bets the pot, I call. If he pushes...I probably don't go along, as Q-8 is a relatively common hand and that would trump my Q's.
In scenario #4 where opponent pots the river after checks, I call or maybe even push. If he 2x's, I gotta pause and probably bail out.
With QJ I'd call after the flop, but wouldn't play nearly as aggressively as I did with A-Q.
But, I suck, so don't listen to me.
