thinking that you have only 3 outs HU on this flop is very very limiting. you easily could have full 6.

I do think that I have 6 most of the time, simply because top pair ace kicker on this board is a small portion of his holdings. The other poster is more concerned about reverse domination than I am.

there are certain hands where it is worth while to go to war for the blinds and your PFR even if you don't make your hand or lose to A/Kx- this is one of those hands IMO.

you can't just assume you have the worst of it from the get go and fold when UI just because you don't hit. not only you'll lose a lot of $$ with this thinking, you won't gain as much as people will automatically fold when you continuation bet because they know you only bet when you hit.

If it gets checked to me, I'm surely betting. And I agree with you that it seems weak to simply fold here, but if I don't, how should I play the hand?
