It seems to me that if you're going to raise A9s OOP, that when you hit TPWK, you can't relinquish control of the betting by a c/c on the flop. You force yourself into calling station status unless you hit your 3 outer or running straight cards.

Lead the flop for 1/2 pot and shut down if there is any more action. There are too many scare cards on the turn, plus the likelihood that youre behind to start with to let the flop go by without anymore info.

I didn't say that, I said a blocking bet was pointless. what are you blocking and why are you blocking it?

Ugh... If you've gotten to the river so far, you WANT him to bluff, thus check-insta-call.

i agree. point of calling turn is w/ intention of snap-calling river bet.

I guess that's another reason why I should just fold the turn. I have no idea where I am in the hand.

I hate the flop check

Personally, i like the pf raise, but would bet 2k on flop and shut down from there.

Prob is on turn we are outkicked or two paired by almost all Aces, are facing a pot commiting bet where we dont know where we stand
