View Full Version : Vote: Most +EV standard flop play
I've got to go with:
You're in the BB, the SB completes. It's heads-up. When he checks the flop, you bet pot no matter what you have.

I'm going to go with
You are on the button with AKs. UTG raises preflop. everybody calls! You just call also. You flop royal flush.
SB pushes, all call.
My standard play in this situation is to call also. It's very +EV /images/graemlins/grin.gif
...
An honorable mention is this play
Heads up with ilya. AA in SB, just complete. Check the flop /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Aleo, I know you aren't the biggest fan of the "standard" anything when it comes to poker....but this play (potting when the SB checks) has been so ridiculously effective for me at the $20s that I must say I would have to recommend it for a total beginner as one of his 'automatic' plays. I don't doubt that it's much less effective (maybe even -EV, I guess) against tougher, more agressive opponents at the higher levels.

Well, sure...I'm not necessarily saying it's a good play...I'm just saying, at the $20s, you'll take down the pot right there a good 70-80% of the time.

I would bet 3/4 pot to increase your profit.
