Default Re: check-raised with TP3K

If you intend on getting your chips in the middle at some stage, id probably call here and hope for a scary card to come off on the turn.

It probably wont get him off his hand, but at least it might. If he was on a drawing hand (the hand that you represent on the turn), he would have called your all-in on the flop anyway, so you lose nothing here...

Also, if he only has something like QK.. he might read your call on the flop as weak, and fire at you on the turn..

So, by just calling the flop..you MIGHT get them to lay down AK if a 3rd diamond comes.. which they wouldn't do on the flop...and you might have sold weakness to get QK to fire another (final) bullet at you.

You might even hit a 10 (which may or may not be good)

I prefer this delayed attack rather then the simple flop jam.

Alternatively you could fold... but I dont like folding a pair of aces when your image is (likely) weak... heck, you might even be ahead!

I vote delay your final move into the pot until the turn.
