Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 5990197, member: 397965"] Preflop I also prefer a somewhat larger sizing. Flop I think, what happened here, is, that Hero got a little confused by having a draw and a made hand at the same time. Typically in these situations having the made hand is more important than having the draw, and we should pick our line based on the strength of our made hand. And while AA is a good made hand on K42 monotone, its not a great hand, since either player could obviously have flopped a flush. So I actually think, raising is a bit of an overplay, and especially with this full pot sizing. He is probably not going to fold a hand like KQ on the flop, and especially not if he have Qd. But if we continue to fire the turn and river, then we might eventually even get him to lay down a set on the river, since we are kind of saying, we have a flush. So we cant bet turn and bet river for value after raising the flop, unless we improve to a flush, and this means, we are almost turning our AA into a bluff. If instead we just call, we can take over the betting, if he check to us, or we can call him down on most runouts and still be in good shape against the range of hands, he get to showdown with. Even without improving our hand. We did raise though, and when he 3-bet jam for this massive overbet, I just dont think, we are ever ahead. We are also not getting the right odds to draw against a range consisting of made flushes and sets, so as played I think, we have to fold. Which is also part of the reason for not raising on the flop, because it obviously sucks having to fold, when we have a draw to the nuts. [/QUOTE]
