Villain is 20-10-2 no other reads
This certainly would have been easier if I bet the flop but I thought I was WA/WB. Looking back I think the only hands I beat are A3 and AK. What would you do here? I was about 25/22 and c-betting about 80% so I mix it up on the flop because when I check most opponents will fire the turn.

I'm assuming you have A9....and that you are MP?

I always bet this flop. You have to assume that when someone calls your PFR they have an ace the majority of the time. You have him in a position where he is most likely dominated and yet will still call just about any flop bet.

I don't care how much you were c-betting before this...BET THE FLOP. This will allow you to take charge of the hand and give you a better idea of where you stand. He could easily be doing this with A7 and will now hanve you second guessing yourself for the rest of the hand.

And how does this flop give any indication that you are way behind?

You also beat AQ, AJ, AT, KK, QQ, and, well, 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

*sniff*sniff* Smells like a set on the flop.
