Re: QQ with ace flopped?
[ QUOTE ]
Because of the no draws, why do I bet the turn after betting the flop if I get called? Isn't that just asking to be called by a-x? Especially why do I bet with the 9 on the turn?
thanks for the replies.

In the loose passive game that you're probably in, your opponents might be calling you on the flop with two broadway cards, 84o, lower pocket pairs, and yes Ax. Assuming that you're beat, when no one's shown you any strength, isn't the way to win at this game.
When you check the flop and the turn, you're telling the guy holding 55 that his hand's good, and he's going to bet it if he's aggressive.
If you've still got three callers by the time you get to the river, then you can start to worry more about Ax. You've then got to look at the pot size, what draws your opponents might have been on, etc. to figure out your action there.
