Message: [QUOTE="Ianmacca99, post: 7089434, member: 370681"] Way too big of a size pre flop. This can't be the standard open size? I mean even the play from villain is poor calling firstly with a trashy ace then betting pot on this board. He would be much better betting small to keep hands like yours in and in the instances he's beat. you could easily have AQ AK here and dominate him. The standard line wouldn't usually be to check those types of hands though so can usually be eliminated from your range. I would of personally bet small on flop, while this board is bad for your actual hand it is good for your range and you need to reflect this otherwise every time you open a pocket pair below an A and are faced with a A high board and check your opponents can be aggressive and get you off hands as your hand is turned face up as a low to medium pocket pair. If he raises your flop bet he is unlikely to be bluffing as you have nut advantage and should have all the AK, AA in your range [/QUOTE]
