Default Re: A9s



some may argue that a raise pre-flop is in order, but against weak opponents I would not raise a suited ace pre-flop. The best reason to raise, which is to tie people to the flop with lesser draws, isn't necessary when playing against weak players. They'll probably call with weaker hands anyway.


The player to your right wouldn't risk giving a free card with a jack, two pair, or trips, so his checkraise is almost certainly a draw. I would reraise the flop. There is a very good chance that at least two other players will call, in which case you're making money on your raise. If not, a raise is still a good play since you've given yourself a great opportunity to win the pot without improving.


I think raising the turn is a good play. Even though someone could be playing JT or worse and be afraid to bet, all under pairs will fold.


Betting the river is the correct play. If he folds 78 or 6c7c one out of ten times, you make money. A checkraise is very unlikely, so you aren't risking much.
