Is a crai unacceptable here? If so, why?

A) It would seem that crai is no different from bet/call; in both scenarios, we still get effed by KK/AA.

If we c/c and he pushes the turn, now what? Can we/should we release here?

B) What is villain's range, after pushing over our bet?

1. crai works good against an agg villian who is willing to cbet flops like this...u get him to put in another 20-30 and he will genreally have to fold to your c/r which is something you probably dont mind with how big the pot is.

2. villians range is probably AA-1010 definately and sometimes u can see 99,88 type hands in there if he is aggressive enough

I guess if we are beat here, crai=b/c.

If he has a PP, b/c is probably better than crai, because we get paid off by 88-JJ.

If he has AK/AQ, crai is obviously much better.

I'm still confused about the optimal line for this one.

the problem with this kind of hand on this kidn of flop is that if he has AA, KK you are almost always going to lose a decent amount of money barring an incredible read or nit like play.

c/r ai will gain more money when somebody cbets a weaker hand

betting allows weaker hands to potentially fold here which is bad for u.

your really only afraid of 2 hands but u are happy when about 7 or 8 hands bet this flop into you.

I think his whole range, minus AK/AQ (but still maaaaybe, if he sucks) pushes this flop if we bet.
