Re: (Stars $162) Maximize value w/ top two pair?
I like calling here because it doesn't let the villian get the info his bets trying to gain. If he's betting to see where he's at with AJ A10 KK or KQ, he'll throw it away against a raise. If I knew for a fact he had AK I would raise, but I'm willing to give AK a free card. If the villian bets a safe turn then I'll go for the raise. If the villian checks the turn on a non flush card then I might check behind on the turn as well to try and set up a value bet on the river. I think all the hands mentioned above would call a river value bet sometimes.
