Oh lord, Another AA hand. Don't kick me out of the Micros.

[Hellmouth]

Well here is another AA hand. This time I raised pf.

Flop: Well this is about as scary as it gets. Don't want it checked around so I bet. I call the raise expecting someone has at least a 1 flush card draw to the nuts or second nuts. Maybe I should slow down in case the flush is in.

Turn: Just trying to get to showdown. Should I raise here with such a coordinated board?

River: Just trying to get to showdown. Big pot.

I would probably 3-bet on the flop. We are probably ahead.

I wasn't sure about that. I guess AA is supposed to make money pf and on the flop before draws start to come in. I thought I would raise the turn if a non-heart came out then pussed out because the board paired. Plus the board also has straight possiblities.

I wonder what our actual pot equity is here but have no way to acutally estimate it.

I would definitely not reraise this flop. If a heart comes on the turn, our hand is useless.

I would raise the turn.

This most likely knocks out the player behind us who has not bet yet. Do we want him/his money in the pot? Are we sure that we are ahead here roughly 50% of the time still?

Does raising the turn give us the opportunity to take a free showdown if the river is a heart? (I suspect not if villian has a high heart draw)

This might be one of those times where you wait for a safe turn to raise. If it is, then I might c/c the flop, raise the turn.

Would you call this a safe turn?

Do you or do you not think it is such a time and why?

[CrMenace]

There is a (37/47)*(36/46)=62% chance that neither the turn nor the river is a heart. Do you think we have pretty good pot equity?
