Going To The River With Just Ace High

[banditdad]

How often are you doing this? Does just an Ace have real showdown value? Is it worth check calling to river or do most of you toss it in the muck? I have a hard time playing turn & river with just an A rag or even A paint. Am I losing value?

i wonder the same thing about my play.

depends on a lot of factors. It has more showdown value the higher your kicker. It has more showndown value vs aggressive opponents. On the river it makes more sense to call it if there are a lot of draws that missed.

More vs aggressive opponents and on low boards after I PFR.

nothing definitive to say here. When you're wrong a few times in a row, you feel bad, when you're right, you feel pretty good.
