Default Re: Stars 4/180 - JJ in early position, facing the A on the flop

*Post without looking at responses*

I think PF is perfectly fine so lets just look where we're at on the flop. Personally, Id lead with a bet of 250 ish and be done if villain is raising us. I dont particularly like checking, mainly because Im not to keen on the options of check/folding and check/calling in this situation. Maybe as played a raise to 600 and being done with the hand in the face of any resistance is best. I actually hate this as well and it doesnt leave us in great shape stack wise, thats why I prefer to lead rather than check intially on the flop.

Thank you guys for all your answers! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Personally I donīt like leadbetting the flop oop without initiative. What to do if he flatcalls? I have to guess on the turn again and if I c/f the turn then, I just lose more chips. At least I telegraph my hand pretty well as I certainly would not lead the flop with AA/AK after Villain reraised me. As well I donīt like to raise his flop-bet - like AC suggested. What to do if he calls my 600? Then I have to c/f the turn as well ...

Youre slowing down if he flat calls, the only hand that flat calls that you're beating is 1010. Also, I hate the raise as well but was just suggesting it as viable, if he flat calls, again you're done with the hand not great but it happens sometimes.

I'm leading out on this flop most of the time. And all of the time in a 4/180. If you get any resistance here you can lay it down then, but I really don't like check/folding here.

I'm also leading out if I have AK BTW.

Check/fold on the flop is fine.
Your UTG bet has been donk-raised, even most of the bad players know that an UTG bet means strength.
IMHO, you call the donk raise for set-value, nothing else
