Why did you bet the flop?

Re: Yuck? 109
 

What would you rather? Check fold?

I like your line, but i play mostly $22s [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

I think you need to push/fold preflop here.

this is my thinking and im leaning twords fold

Re: Yuck? 109
 

I don't like betting out, I would check and PROBABLY fold...although my opponents bet sizing could maybe convince me to do something.

Re: Yuck? 109
 

Folding preflop is perfectly fine, i agree. I really hate betting out in spots like this with the idea of folding to a raise. It's basically a pure bluff, and not only that, but it looks like one too.

Re: Yuck? 109
 

I don't think you move was that bad. About 40%ish of the time you take that down from hands like AQ.

I dont like the idea of reraising preflop. Any overcards calling and you just 50/50. You do some fold equity there though so I couldn't say its that bad a move.

Re: Yuck? 109
 

Check fold with check push a close second, depending on Villain's flop bet size. If he checks behind I'm leading out the turn if an A or a spade don't come.

In any way, I never played a $109, so my opinion doesn't count much.
