Message: [QUOTE="chicubs1616, post: 343417, member: 1708"] Betting on the flop with two overcards, as in your example, allows you to be able to take a free card in some cases as well. If you don't hit your AK on the flop, betting a standard amount after a check will either pick up the pot for you right then or buy you a free card on the next round. If someone is in check-call mode, a check on the flop from you might entice them to bet the turn, thus pushing you out of the hand if you don't hit the turn. By betting the flop here, you can either pick up the pot or gain a free river card by checking down the turn after your opponent attempts to trap. Nice post Jon. [/QUOTE]
