Default Re: Yet another he cracked my aces with crap post

"Any assertive player might play back at you with AK"

This hand was online 2/4. In my experience, not many players 3-bet overcards if you checkraise them on flop. But if this was one, I dont think I would "go to war" on flop.

Say you were calling the UTG+2 raiser preflop from the blind with 55 or 99. Headsup on flop and the flop is J high, say 48J. As I understand it you mean this is a hand to only checkcall all the way to showdown?

If the preflopraiser got 2 overcards he will beat you about 50% of the time. But sometimes he will have a big pair. If you are only going to checkcalling him all the way with your pair - not putting pressure on him when you like the flopcards - you better fold all pairs preflop that are lower than his raising standards (say 22-TT). Specially since he will make you pay a bet on river if he got something, and sometimes check if he only got high cards.
