Exacly what would a bet on the flop have done .. you really think, that villian would have trown his set ???? (His magic hand reading skills would have put hero on AA and that is it .. (And not on AK, AQ .. Ax .. KK, KQ, QQ, JJ or any two pieces of junk and on a steal)


Damn .... doesn't anyone think, Is 2+2 all about posting stereotyped advice (Remember young skywalker, always bet the flop or you might succumb to The Dark Side)

And betting more on the flop ... convencional wisdoms says that you want action with Aces, so you make a minimal raise not to drive everybody out (You are 80 percent favorite against all hands other than AA, where even then you are not behind) (Harrington, Brunson .. and others)


Well played is what I would say .. unlucky though :-)
