Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6108563, member: 397965"] Preflop Standard open. Flop This is a very dangerous flop for aces, and to make matters worse you are out of position. I would check here and try to get to a cheap showdown. It would be a check with intentions to check-call and then evaluate later. If the board runs out with a 1-liner to a straight, and/or the flush comes in, then this is a situation, where you probably need to be willing to let those aces go, if the opponent continues to fire hard at the pot. Ideally what you want to see here is for him to check back and then a low offsuit brick on the turn. You do bet though, and then you get raised, which is just a terrible situation for aces. I guess, its to tight to fold already, but I really hate the situation and hope, he checks back turn. Turn This was one of the better cards for you, because it completed no draws, and it also cuts down on the number of set and two pair combos, he can have, plus you now beat T9, and you picked up some equity against a straight. Its very unlikely, he is raising the flop with bottom pair, so on this particular card I think, you have a very clear check-call and then basically hope, that the river brinks, and/or he give up and check back. River When he raise the flop, his range should consist mostly of draws, which all missed, and then hands that beat you. So what are you exactly trying to accomplish with this block bet? He is not going to call you with KT or 98, if these hands are not in his range, because he would have just called them on the flop. Facing his raise I would snap fold. And I would also lean towards folding, if I had checked to him, and he still jammed. All the draws missed, but its not like, aces is the top of your range is this situation. Opening from CO you can also have a lot of hands, that made a full house or a straight on this board. Maybe you can also have trips sometimes, if you C-bet a hand like 87 or A7. So I dont see the need to defend with anything less than trips here. [/QUOTE]
