In practice, I probably don´t have the discipline to fold to his flop raise. In theory, I like a fold, assuming he is an ok player. His raise looks like real strength (assuming the table doesn´t see you as a gambler). If not, you are going to win but a little. If it is real strength, he´s going to charge you a lot more and you have little change to improve.

As played, his turn bet sizing doesn´t look like he´s trying to get rich by fold equity, so he probably wants you to call.

I put him on AQ or 88 here. And yes, sometimes he will surprise us with AT and he thought it´s a monster.

It was Q9o, believe it or not.

Line looks fine to me, unless he's pretty nitty.

I take this line a lot in this situation, nh.

This is fine I'm also calling most river bets here.

anyone else reraise the flop here?

when you raise AK and hit this flop, what else can you possibly hope for besides a boat or something?

c/r the turn here and see what villain does. the 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] couldn't have helped him.

tptk w/bdfd i'm thinking might be played a bit more aggressively. if your behind a set, you just reload. it happens. if your ahead push it. i don't like the check checking here.

what about the use of blocking bets?
