In the right situation with the right player i will let the player to my left "steal" my bets for some time. I will keep the bets the same (obviously as small as possible) and continue to let...

Re: too weak?

Re: Laying AK Down Preflop
absolutely, unless your read on this opponent tells you he would push this hard (raise 4 times your bet) with AA or KK. If he has any other pair you are almost dead even and getting almost 2 to 1 on...

Re: Laying AK Down Preflop
Have to agree with the previous poster on this one. You're priced in to call here. Then you have to make the rest of your decisions based on the texture of the flop. If you miss you're out and if...

Re: QQ Hand
i believe that if you raise pre-flop and an Ace falls on the flop you MUST bet...especially if it is checked around to you. By not betting you're telling everybody at the table you have no Ace. ...

In my humble opinion...you've got to muscle this guy from the start. I think you should have put in about a $50 pre flop raise here. Raising UTG like he did says big pair. A big preflop like this...
