Re: Tough situation with ATs
Just a thought:
What about calling the turn and raising the river?
1. If we're chopping, it costs me nothing, and there's the extremely remote, very distant chance villain might get scared and make a very bad river fold if he has another A.
2. If we're ahead of villain, waiting till the river gets the most money in without losing action.
3. If we're behind to three 6s, we are probably less likely to get re-raised on the river than on the turn. It also may be easier to lay down our A to a river three-bet on the river than on the turn.
The only risk seems to be if villain plays back with an A, but this doesn't seem likely from anyone but a lag (but hopefully we'd have some sense of that already).
This strikes me as sort of similar to a way ahead/way behind situation, with the added complication that a huge percentage of the time we're chopping. The chopping cases, though, can be ignored, because our EV barely changes (if at all) in those situations. I think this line does better for the non-chop cases.
Just a thought.
