Re: AQ in Re-raised pot
Why are we still talking about this hand lol? Betting the flop is ok if you're willing to play for stacks. I specifically advocate checking behind here because we are a bit deep. And whoever said that checking turns our hand face up is being ignorant.
I'm checking this flop with literally my entire range, from air to Ax to AK to 88 to AA to 99-KK, so no checking doesn't reveal our hand. What it does do is incite villain to bluff at the pot on the turn, and keep the pot smaller when we want it smaller. Few hands are going to pay us off here if we bet the flop. One of the few reasons for betting the flop should be to induce a bluff c/r, so if you bet you have to play for stacks, if that's what you want to do fine. But imo checking is far superior here without a read.
