[NL10] AA - double check this line please

[monkover]

betting the flop is best b/c you get value from hands like A2, 33,44,55, well any pp and if a Q or J comes off you won´t get any action.
imo it´s kind of marginal though

[John Bontus]

I can imagine PP's betting out on this flop, so I'd check behind, and hope they improve on the turn.
As played, I think it's good.

Strong agressive players could easily check raise you on the flop too where you'd be in a real tough spot.

Actually, that's a good point that I forgot to mention. Betting could set you up for a bluff raise, although I dunno if any of these villains are capable of that.

Thank you. I see your point, isn't this mitigated though by Q-x and J-x hands that would call us if they hit a pair on the turn?

I only know of two people so far at stars NL10 I think is capable of bluffraising.

No, I play NL25 now. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

In position, you've seen all you need to see. I bet AA here, but I bet JTo here, and I bet 55 here. We do that because we want to be able to bet Kx here.

And I pretty much shut down if called with all those hands (except for trips). And with trips I'm cautious if it's not trips TK.

Side note: this flop came every flippin' time I raised AA yesterday. Thx for reminding me.

[Mr_Pathetic]

There are two ways to play this and neither are bad. You can c/c it or you can bet it. Either way works and unless someone will raise you with more then a K you aren't getting in any tough spots by doing either.

All it really depends on is your preference for postflop play. Are you cbetting this flop with air or betting out on trips? If so then bet AA or any pair too as well as a K. If you are not cbetting this flop with air or betting out on trips then c/c. I take the former lines.

[Poker's Busmalis]

I bet this like I cbet it if I didn't hit or don't have a hand. That'll get value from aforementioned hands.
