Strong top pair - how to play?
Do you bet the turn?
I thought, flushdraw is only possible with AcKc and i donīt get this hand folding. So most of the time villain is on 2-3 Outs. Should i check this turn and and try to get more Value from hands like AQ/AJ/KK/QQ? Villain has 18,3/11,6/3,65/17,53 stats. 200$ stacks. Full Tilt Poker No Limit Holdem Ring game Blinds: $1/$2 6 players Converter Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is CO with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $9</font>, 2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">BB raises to $29</font>, UTG+1 folds, Hero calls.

You are only behind AA on the flop (or a baby set, which is doubtful). A raise could push out AQ

[ QUOTE ] Raise the flop, call a push. [/ QUOTE ] Why? [/ QUOTE ] Not a big fan of free cards in this situation. I suppose calling flop is good. Not sure what the motivation behind checking turn is? Given our turn check, why can't we call the river? |

Bet turn, looks like either qq or kk. Hard to say, the overbet on the river seems fishy.

I'd bet the turn. You'll get value from a weaker ace. Might get calls from underpairs too, since he won't know if his check induced a bluff from you.
