Hows My Line---And No I Didn't Check the Flop (200NL)

by **T-Rod** » Sat Sep 09, 2006 7:54 pm

Prima 200NL 6max.

Villain is full stacked and is a 25/17 guy. Fairly tough. He also has high agression on the turn and river.

I have A[s] A[h] in MP and raise to 8, only he calls in LP.

Flop ($17.5). J[s] 7[c] 2[d]. I lead $13. Why $13? I want him calling with AJ which I've seen him do. Uh oh, he min raises to $26. What should my line be?

1) Call and check the turn.
2) Reraise big
3) Reraise small (min raise) hoping to get to showdown cheaper.
4) Call and CRAI on the turn?

about the most drawless board of all time, I go with 4.

Call and check-fold the turn?

I like a call and check-call on the turn actually, then depending on how the board develops, either bet-folding the river or check-folding it. (if he checks behind on the turn then lead the river for about 3/4 pot).

#4 looks like a winner to me here. Also I like leading for $13-$14 with aces here.

everyone hates checking flop im sure but for sake of discussion lets say u do. 1. there are no draws so you are wa/wb. 2. you let him catch a piece if he has like qk or ak or some shit like that (yeah and you give him a shot at a 5 outer) but... 3. this keeps the pot small / medium. and 4. this could induce a bluff on turn. i know that if u do bet flop u can check behind on turn for pot controll and induce bluff on river. i take the same line prolly just basically asking why and how bad checking the flop is here... as for the c/r ... he could have paired a j or have a set or have a middle pp (overpaires would have raised pf). he may want to see where he is for cheap. honestly , this could sooooo be a set so im tempted to act like a donk and let him know i have aa by making a small re-raise there and folding when he pushes or scooping the medium pot. i havent read other replies yet though so im probly missing an aspect of this...

I was going to suggest Roy's line. I really like call and check-call the turn better than the CRAI. 6max it might work, but I don't like losing my stack when I get setted.

I like option 4. Seems like the only play unless he makes a bet on the turn that makes you think.
