His range could easily have AQ, AT, KJ...

obvious fold right?

[Jamougha]

You can't fold this. He thinks you have KK/JJ and he's potting it on a bad board. Think about it.

[FeNeF]

You have to bet this flop.

[Habib Marwan]

Don't check the flop. Call river, since you played this like you have KK.

[EgoSlasher]

If you're looking for pot control bet the flop and check the turn, can't give away a free card like this. As played call turn and river, you are folding to a monster under the bed. Checking this flop makes this hand much harder to play than just betting it.

[Lucky]

As played, call river since you've so severely underrepresented your hand.

In this spot,usually bet flop, check turn. Call most rivers, value bet about 1/2 pot if checked to.

[yabastid]

Bet the flop.

On turn you are only ahead of AJ, river is easy fold.

[Leptyne]

First thing is to rebuy to play with a full stack. Anytime an Ace flops there is a str8 draw. In addition to the flush draw on the flop there are six more cards that will make a str8. After re-raising preflop you 're going to check this flop and let villain have a free card? After your weak call on the turn vilain may think you have JcTc and are chasing the flush. Easy call as others have mentioned. Reload, bet the flop, re-evaluate on the turn. A LAGtard never gets a free card.

[amoeba]

call river.

those that are calling for a flop bet followed by a turn check assumes that villain checks to you on the turn which is often not the case.

anyways, you got to the flop and you are short stacked with $100 left in your stack and $55 in the pot. theres no point in playing for pot control at this moment. 2 streets of bets and you are allin. so I just bet 40 on the flop and push the turn.

oh yea, i always reload. not sure why i didn't on this table... i htink i lost a hand of 2 right before this... and forgot to reload.
