Another likely lame Ax defending story
Button is a tough, aggressive player who is tricky and makes moves postflop about the right amount of the time. Probably the toughest player I regularly play against.
He openraises the button and I defend the BB with A5o. The flop is Q86 rainbow. How bad is just checking and giving up here, or is that just unacceptable? -Michael

GEHRIGS RULE OF HEADS UP POST FLOP PLAY:
if a hypothetical villain bets his entire range on every street, and check/calling down blind is even close to a break-even strategy against this, then check/folding the flop against a real villain with the same range is a bad play

[/ QUOTE ] a good villain will chk turn and/or river sometimes, which makes cf'ing the flop with 33% equity even worse if ur equity on the flop = ur effective odds to call down, then c/c'ing the flop cannot be worse than a break-even play unless u fold or raise too much on later streets
