To be honest, I think I'd be more inclined to just c/f the turn. I suspect you're ahead here so very rarely that the bet/fold is just a waste of a BB.

why did you bet the flop?

So the PFR would blow away the field with hands like KK/JJ/KQ. If he can get another A that's chopping with/beating me to fold, that rules.

Why do you think he's going to raise with any of those hands? Are you raising with those hands? I'm kind of not, but maybe I'm not playing well...

I'm not either, but lots of players even with good stats seem to think it's "weak" to call or fold with those hands.

Re: A-rag in a tough spot
 

I'd check/fold the turn. It seems BB has an Ace and will be seeing a showdown no matter what falls.

But I'm not sure of this until he raises the turn. The pot is 6BBs on the turn -- don't you think he folds a non-K hand at least 16% of the time? If not, then yes my bet is bad.

Re: A-rag in a tough spot
 

Fold the flop, I know we shouldt fold for 1 bet, but really, you dont have jack, and look at the board.

Re: A-rag in a tough spot
 

I'm having a hard time putting villain on a hand that he'll raise the flop with, but won't call down on the turn. I don't think he's going to fold two pair much and will call down instead. He'd have to have a hand like A9s which is unlikely.
