Re: What is Our Line?

The problem is SB could see my raise on the flop as making it less likely I have an ace and could make a play on me.

It's exactly how he's going to see it, which is the whole point. You're saying you don't have one. If he has one, wouldn't he be just as less likely to 3 bet as you were to raise? So he'll likely call with an A and either donk the turn or go for c/r. I'm guessing he'd donk with an A so as not to miss a bet.

What's your plan if he reraises and EP drops, then he leads the turn?

Give him less credit for an A if he 3 bets, but more likely give him KK-QQ. He did 3 bet pre-flop from the SB. I don't think he'd 3 bet into you and the EP out of position with less than QQ. Calling and putting pressure on him to fire another bullet on the turn with 99-TT, knowing you'd rather raise the turn than cap the flop with an A, is probably the play.

What's your plan if he calls my raise and then leads out on the turn in the event of a brick (a likely, uncomfortable scenario)?
[/ QUOTE ]
Most likely scenario in how I think he'd play an A and I'd feel the most comfortable folding.
So I think the best play is to raise the flop and hope it's checked to me on the turn, in which case I'd seriously wonder if a worse hand pays me off. Checking behind and giving a free card to a 2 outer might then get you paid off by a worse hand. Tough spot. Good post.
