Hero ?

I gotta be honest, I don't remember checking after 3-betting. Am I missing something? If so, learn me.

That said, I'm betting $15 or $16 and hoping he pushes.

I know usualy it`s 3bet pf and fire close to potsize on flop. On the other hand if we check we might get QQ-KK to bet and pot commit themselves. Is it ever correct to checkraise here ? I have been 3betting a lot and firing on the flop.

bet $16 (as said in bbv)
dont u think with a J high board, Villain is going to push KK-QQ anyways, if thats wut u have him on? I'd say 95% of time he does.

Honestly, I've never 3bet and not fired. Something to think about here or no? I'm gonna start another thread so as not to hijack. Curious though....

[Debaser]

Are you planning to check/raise or check/call the flop?

Because you have two aces his most likely hands here are KK, QQ and JJ. If he has JJ you're gonna get stacked so w/e. But if he has KK or QQ and you check raise the flop he *might* be able to get away from it esp. if he only bets half pot or so.

If you bet $12 or so on the flop he won't fold KK or QQ and he might see the smallish bet as weakness and get involved with AK or TT or some other crap.

I bet whether I hit or miss. I guess you could check-raise him all-in if you think he'll bet when you check, but fold to a bet. I like betting the best as I don't want opps thinking I check AA , but cbet AK.

Most thinking players should take the decision pf, wether to be willing to felt QQ-KK if no overcards hit. How should I have played this if I would be holding AK ? (not AsKs obv. )

I think autocb every time you 3b is a leak.
See you in the other thread.

OP,

I think both crai and b/3bai are valid lines.
