Default Re: Boring and standard?

You also lose to an aggro QJ[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] or whatever. I'm not saying that your lines are bad. I'm just saying that it is easy for red aces to get all in on the flop knowing that they can't be THAT far behind. On the turn it's another story where they have much less equity. And black aces can find an easy laydown on the flop where they will still feel like they might be ahead and need to protect on the turn.

I'm definitely not saying a raise is wrong. It is the safer line. Before a card can come and kill your action or your hand. If you're against a flush, you have outs, and most of the time you won't be. But a flop call and work very nice to balance your draws and to put the pressure on the turn where you have much more equity when ahead.
