Default Re: Implied odds when an Ace completes your straight

Tricky question. Basically what you're asking is you had something like QJ, on a KT2 flop, which is a better card for you the 9 or the ace? Or you could have 34 on a 52T flop, which is better the 6 or the ace? In the first case I would take the ace by far. When people make 2 pair with AK they rarely fold, and a lot of donkeys will pay you off with AT, AQ, AJ and worse. In the second case I like the 6 better since the flop looks so harmless for an overpair or ten with a good kicker. The ace would just ruin your odds vs those types of hands.
