Default Re: Clueless with flop of AAK

In my mind, that played out about as well as i could hope - the BB call is fine, the flop c/r worked nicely.

The turn is odd, and i'd call here but would hate a river bet too.

You know what i think? UTG had a king too. maybe JJ or something, but i think KQs/KQo/KJs/KJo/KTs is also possible. an Ace would definitely bet that river, KQ won't if savvy enough to see the kicker was just counterfeited.

I think it's a good hand, interested to see results. I think a K more often than JJ/TT/99 on a free SD turn raise.

EDIT: i've seen people dislike the flop c/r - i think it's good because it a) may confuse a tricky player ["no-one c/rs an ace here, but he may know i know that"], b) means i may be able to c/r trips in the future this way, c) may give us the momentum in the hand.

The lead-raise on the turn is confusing, but seeing the river, i think we could agree it's a free SD play, which is why my read is lumped for Kx/JJ-99.
