Check-cry-call. Unless you can bet and fold to a raise.

Live poker is rigged.

Starts with a B, ends with a t.

Bet. Call. Vomit.

In that order.

After you bet, do you call in any of these scenarios?

1) MP raises, SB CC

2) MP raises, SB folds

3) MP folds, SB C/R

4) MP calls, SB C/R

My gut tells me to call in 2 and 3, fold 1 and 4.

I like betting and calling a single raise but folding to a raise and an overcall.

Re: 9/18 AA Hand
 

I like the idea of calling in situations #2 and #3, where you would be the only other player left in the pot.

Against unknowns, I don't see this winning a showdown in a raised three-way pot on the river often enough to be signifincantly profitable, but I'm wondering whether it might be worth calling for metagame reasons. People will be taking shots at you for the rest of the session if you start out with that kind of fold.

The overcall doesn't matter. SB has AK like always and you have the Ad.

Re: 9/18 AA Hand
 

if mp raises, what the hell does he have that doesn't have a Q in it?

not saying i'd fold, because i can't fold AA on the river for one bet, but I can't think we're ahead enough.

I didn't bother making the decision that complicated. I know sometimes he'll call with a worse hand, but when you check and he bets you can be pretty damn sure that you're beaten.
