Re: When was I supposed to open the parachute?
Checkraising the flop and seeing if Villain 3-bets is a good idea, I like it.
re your comments to fishhook, that's a common problem, I think -- when I openraise a marginal hand like 99 or ATs and get coldcalls, I am lost on the flop. I am only comfortable doing it in mid-position because then it has maybe a 50-50 chance of buying the button for me.
On the actual hand, villain had aces. My best guess is that he'd call the flop and pop the turn but that still saves me one big bet. (Worst case, I guess, is that he calls the flop and the turn, and only pops me on the river... and I come out even if I can put it down then.)
