limp raising AA utg

strde635 · #1 08-08-2007, 08:17 AM

is checking this flop foolish to induce turn action or let him hit a card? seems pretty safe flop...
villian is 12.7/3.6/1.67 over 520 hands and i cant imagine him raising without AQ+

You got what you wanted [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

ps A flop which has room for JT is never safe.

i know but the guy raises 3.7% and called a three bet with JT? no way that happened. only TT+, AQ+ here

yeah you win the august fancy play syndrome award for sure

whats wrong with the minraised turn? the guy only had 3.8 left and i didnt want to scare my customer away... i was sure i could get it in on river... min raising just lessened the chance of him folding when i have the nuts.

I think limp raising PF if fine if you think it will work but I wouldn't be expecting that particular villain to raise you all that much given his stats.

As played from the flop onwards: I would want to get some money in on that flop for value. A $3 raise would leave you $10 behind which I'd plan to put AI on the turn which wouldn't be too much considering how large the turn pot would be.

But he makes no mistake, when he is drawing to the flush. Remember: Only mistakes from our opponents bring us $$.

When you always make small raises with your good hands, he makes smaller mistakes if he calls with his worse hands, and in the long run, you are losing $

1. There are 3 flush cards
2. If you'd bet the flop then you wouldn't need to minbet to make it tempting.
