Lead the flop. Also, try using the hand converter. There's a link to it in the FAQ at the top of the forum. It's generally looked down upon in this forum to post the names of our opponents. I see it done alot in the higher stakes forums, but in general, they're not posted here.

Bet flop, bet turn, bet river.

I think you have to bet everystreet.

Re: AA from SB
 

Bet out on the flop, if you're gonna check then 3-bet the flop when it's bet and raised. Bet the turn River is fine

Re: AA from SB
 

Can someone explain why check raising the turn is bad? The flop raiser most will most likely bet out again on the turn, and with a hand such as AA that has a good pot equity edge, wouldn't check raising extract an extra bet?

Yes it could but if you check you risk having the action checked around therefore instead of gaining a bet from each opponent you gain nothing. If you checkraise the flop raiser you leave the other opponent sandwiched into calling two bets cold and its doubtful that he calls. Betting out may extract a bet from each opponent or a raise from the flop raiser in which case you can re raise (+3bets). If you go for the check raise he may check behind and you gain nothing. Furthermore checking with the intention of raising gives the other opponent with a weak hand such as K9s or KJ a free card for two pair/trips or a gutshot draw for free if its checked through. Overall I think that leading out on each street is the best play. Check raising the turn isnt horrible but it also isnt my favorite play. On the other hand the way he played the flop check/raising IS the better play. But if I would play this hand right now it would be RR PF which he did, lead flop lead turn lead river. Im not a real big fan of playing aces fancy especially at the .50/1 level.

Re: AA from SB
 

I would have 3bet the flop.
