I usually just bet flop, but this is fine I guess.

how could this be terrible? if he had JJ thats just a cooler

this is a fine line. sometimes you can 1/2 pot the flop.

sh58 · #5 10-29-2007, 12:03 AM

it's definitely a reasonable line

I don't think you can really screw this up as long as you manage to get stacks in.

I usually just bet this flop so you dont have to overbet river to get it all in.

i think betting out here is better on the flop ... then if you want check the turn ...

by checking flop then betting turn then pushing river after he calls the turn just shows that you are strong and you are only getting value out of weaker aces

where as if you bet out at flop .. he may call to see what you do on the turn and if you check he may take a stab at it and then you can call ... and then bet the river if you feel like it for value ...

i just think this builds a bigger pot and may still allow you to get all in by the river without exposing your hand face up
