In actuality, looking at the history here, specifically having stacked the guy a short while before with a CRAI, I like the simple fold line. You've recently shown enormous aggression and there's no reason here why you can't have AK or something.
I think a raise in this situation is completely out of the question.
In a vacuum, the best I can normally do here is flat call and hope it gets checked down. But the background of the hand to me favors the laydown. I can't say exactly why except that the background of the hand has this whole thing too emotionally charged. I'd also like the board a little more if I at least had Ah in my hand--giving runner-runner possibilities, possibilities of bluffing AKs, and also making the possibility of setting your aces at least definitely NOT create a suited board.
While I don't like the immediate laydown as habitual play, I do like it in context. You've just stacked the guy. Now get out of his way a little in a small-medium pot and let everything chill out a little.Statistics: Posted by Aisthesis — Thu Aug 31, 2006 11:45 pm
