Three hands from finishing the bonus, this was the situation I was in. I again figured, that yeah, there were only two aces left in the deck and only me against this guy, so I went for it. He raised from $10 to $20. I ground my teeth and completed. The next card didn't seem to help either of us, so I did the same, and he went all in. I figured I stood a chance. He had AJo. Sigh. Oh, well. Nothing like finishing a bonus on a negative.

bet out, you will make a profit in the long run with this play.
I like the idea of check raising, but not for me I bet my good hands.
- on the small chance that the weak tight player has called/ re-raise you, I would give him the the pot and just check and fold the turn/river.
unless I hit a queen and then its action i will get my money in as fast as I can. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: derek at July 17, 2006, 12:17 pm | | Topic: QQQuestion... Forum: Bonus Whores | QQ is a tough lay down in this spot (limit game)
I would bet the flop and check call turn and river
If he's got the A he'll wait to check raise you on turn or river.
If he doesn't have the A he will fold on turn if you bet but may bluff at you if you check.
I think you have to pay him off in this spot if your beat.It would be an easier lay dow if only 1 Ace hit the flop | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Pokeraddict at July 17, 2006, 9:53 am | | Topic: QQQuestion... Forum: Bonus Whores | IMO open and see what he does, if he raises call him. Open on the turn as well unless it is a king, if he raises on turn fold, if the turn is a king then check/fold.
I'm probably a bit too loose though in blind steal situations. At the very least the next time he thinks about stealing your blind he knows you will not go down quietly. | | Static Link |

In general I bet but fold to agression. (A CR could also work.) Check-fold is a bad plan.

| Posted by: maxcavsm at July 17, 2006, 9:10 am | | Topic: QQQuestion... Forum: Bonus Whores | Big blind with QQ. The entire table folds up to the blind steal position, who raises. SB folds and I reraise. He completes. Average player, average tight/weak player, but it looks like he's attemping a blind steal.
Flop comes A4A. Your move?
