Default Re: Betting with an overcard

1) Was your preflop raise with JJ to get them out of the hand, or to see where they were at? 2) A bet on the flop is suspicious but necessary for a couple reasons: If you raised hard preflop, you probably wouldn't bet the flop with AA, but you need to test the waters here with a medium sized bet. If you get callers--you may just wanted to check all the way to showdown. Also, someone might be holding 10s and slowplaying them. However, since you did not bet the flop and chose to bet the turn instead, you must be cautious of what your opponent could be holding (my guess is AQ to be honest). There is no need to bet the river because: 1) he has a set and will check-raise you, or 2)he has an Ace with a decent kicker and will call you and take your free money [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I'm curious as to what he had and who took down the pot. Anyway, that's my two cents. Good luck!
