Reraise preflop?

Think I might have missed a raise on the flop. Could have knocked out CO, gotten it HU and then taken a free card on turn if missed. Pot was big and think it was weak/tight to fold. What do you think?

3-BET PREFLOP!!!!!! YOU HAVE AK FOR SH[/i]IT'S SAKE!


The whole hand plays differently from there so any comments we could offer you here are irrelevant.

(I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just telling you the way it is).

Good luck,

You have to raise pre-flop.

I think most players here advocate raising the flop.

[DougThor]

I must have had a mental lapse. Don't even know why I didn't 3 bet preflop. This is standard for me. Assuming I did, Would you have raised UTG if he bet out on the flop. I think that would be the right move.

Sorry to break it to you, but its impossible to theorize on the post flop play *IF* you 3-bet. Given what you did, the fold is fine.
