Default Re: ATs Line Check

As a weak-tightie with TAG tendencies I can tell you exactly what this guy was thinking LOL...
He was probably worried about a flush, and maybe a wheel, although since you raised PF he probably didn't have you playing rags. HU he had to figure he was ahead, and since you were betting for him he decided to just ride along until he was clear of the flush before raising you. Is that really such a bad play by the villain here? (I agree that villain needed to raise PF)

I've had 3 recent AT hands (within 1 week) where I got called down by Ace with a bigger kicker or an overpair (when I hit my Ten for TPTK.) I just wanted to make sure I wasn't overvaluing my kicker.

Okay, forgive me for stating the obvious, but remember that PF ATs is +.35 EV, and AT is +.07. But ATs loses that extra value when you miss your flush, so when you also miss your straight or fail to pair the T you're susceptible to getting outkicked.
I like to think of it by assigning letter grades to my A kickers: AK = A, AQ = B, AJ = C, AT = D. A9 and A8 you're on your own. A7 and A6 = F. A5-A2 = wheel fodder.
