[ QUOTE ]

Villain has $21.67 and is sitting UTG
Hero covers and is sitting in MP
Hero is dealt A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Preflop:
Villain opens with a raise to $1, Hero reraises to $3.10, it's folded around, Villain calls.
Flop: 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Villain checks, Hero???
Why is this flop the right one to check and get closer to showdown? Or why is it the wrong one?

Not read other replys.
We should bet here, for value and protection.
Range:22-QQ, AQs, AKo/AKs.
Value: AK
Protection: QQ/TT - 12% a card(T or Q) hits and we go behind/scare him away/have a tough time.
Since TT/QQ almost always fold our hand won't be getting much value even when we check the flop.
So bet, fold out the gutshots and bet/fold turn.
If AK raises us here it makes it alot tougher to play.
