10NL - TP3K on Flop

[MPeeperkorn]

Normally I think I would raise this flop but I had just shown a check-raise bluff and was feeling like maybe I shouldn't push my luck - I probably shouldn't have shown that bluff. Anyways, whats the best way to figure out where I stand here? How afraid of a a better ace should I be?

Ew, full ring. There is a fr forum where you will getter responses. But really fold pf is your friend. You can´t call here, so many raisers have insanely tight raising ranges from that position. Without a pretty good read this an easy fold.

On the flop I would check/call and probably fold turn, alternately call down if he continues with the smallish betting. But without some sort of read all options is kind of meh.

I don't know how the Full Tilt 0.5/0.1 plays specifically, but I am thinking if Villain has an ace, it's probably better than yours.

The fact that you just showed off a checkraise bluff kind of improves the case for checkraising again now (since Villain might get stubborn and call you down with QQ or something), but I wouldn't do it.

Calling and re-evaluating on the turn seems reasonable to me. If Villain doesn't have an ace, I'm thinking there's a good chance he'll check the turn (or bet smallish). If he makes a pot-sized bet, or something close to that, on the turn, though, then you should probably fold.

Preflop, I would fold.

out of position - out of the action, fold pf. Never show your cards unless you have a very good reason.

Fold or reraise pre-flop. Probably fold especially in a full ring game.
