Default Re: I can\'t bet/fold for the life of me...AA

You bet/fold when two conditions are met:

1. Villain usually has a weak made hand that he'll pay you off with.

2. If villain raises, he will have a strong hand that definitely has you beat.

This particular situation meets both conditions. I'm not so much worried about a flush as I am worried about one of two possible boats (three possible boats actually, but JJ is very unlikely).

If I bet, most of the time or both villains will have a J or some lower pocket pair and pay me off. On the other hand, I am not getting check-raised by anything I can beat, so I can safely toss my hand if that occurs. Hence bet-fold.
