Default Re: AK: opponent bets 3rd diamond

[ QUOTE ]


with the A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], i'd call, since you'll need to see the river and don't want to pay three big bets to do it.

Be careful of thinking too weak-tightly here; our hand is still going to be very much the best most of the time, and we are looking to maximize value. So we should call to raise the river, because it gets the most money in, while having the advantage of not forcing us to put in a third big bet on the turn. (That third big bet is one we don't want to put in, because it usually means we are behind; waiting for the river, though, is preferred because of it's value creation in addition to this.)
