Flop: I didn't reveal the strength of my hand preflop. So he is probably just making a normal CBet. There is an excellent chance I have the best hand. So I call.

Fold.

If you really think he's bluffing then why not pop him up? You do realize that villain could easily have a PP which beats the no pair hand that you are checking down.

This is relatively unlikely.

I think the move would be "raise" here given your *read* - otherwise fold. I feel sorry for the flames you'll catch over this one.

Nothing wrong with calling that flop with AK sometimes, on a combination of (might have the best hand/can take it from a better hand later/can improve to the best hand). I find it odd that you didn't bet the turn though.

I'd like this a lot more if you had the A/images/graemlins/club.gif. At least you can bluff raise some turns then.

Same here.

I dont like the flop call, are you gonna represent the flush if it hits?
WHats your plan for rest of the hand.
I reraise pf, pot flop.

[Spladle Master]

Your line (re-raise pre, pot flop) is my standard line. But sometimes I do things a little differently. Like, say, I might decide to not re-raise pre-flop because, you know, whatever. And then obviously once that flop hits I'm not folding, but maybe I don't like raising because this guy won't fold a pair to the raise and it's cheaper just to call the flop and bet the turn if he checks because if he checks the turn then he's folding when I bet. All this hinges on the assumption that he won't fire a second barrel with less than AK, of course.

My same here comment was referring to my curiosity at the lack of a turn bet, shared with Yeti.

I'm sorry, what?

I dont mind the flop call. You have most likley 6 outs ... and you could be ahead at this point. Its a close decision between raising and calling. Id say Id be raising 60% of the time, calling 30%, and folding 10%. On the turn, though, fire another bet at it. It looks like a Cbet, or a bet with a small pocket pair, get him out of there.
