A8s river decision 3-6 bellagio

i like the idea of call-3 betting the flop normally, but since the pot is already huge and getting a better A out is so easy to do in this particular case/flop, i still like my flop raise as the best line.

I thought the same thing at first, but then I rethought it, and realized that there's really no such thing as a better ace.

See, since there is a small pair on the board and a King, if an ace comes, you'll chop against a AJ type of hand. So, it's not the ace that you want to fold, its the hands like QJs that decide to take one off with a backdoor flush draw or something. THOSE are the hands you want to fold.

I think.
