Message: [QUOTE="Dorkus Malorkus, post: 477180, member: 6020"] I like leading here. Someone almost has to have an Ace here, and they're almost certainly not going to go away if you lead, whereas if you check-raise you are identifying your hand as very strong and may fold out weak aces, which you really don't want to do considering you're waaaay ahead of them. It's also entirely possible that a couple of players are just playing random suited cards, and we don't want to run the risk of giving a free card to a flush draw, of course. It's also possible someone else has a big hand (AT, 44), and by leading we will be able to get a 3-bet in when raised (I guess 44 might 3-bet us if check-raised though, but AT is less likely to) and thus get more money out of our opponent(s) should a scare card (club) come on the turn.
