Default Re: how to play a flopped set of aces with no danger on the board

[ QUOTE ]
With JJ, I'd have raised to 125 or so. I fold to a reraise. Make the bet big enough so that only better hands raise in the lower levels. I'd fold to a raise.

As for AA... with 2 hearts on the board, I'd check/raise all in as well. With a rainbow flop... I'd give the opponent plenty of rope and let him do my dirty work for me. If he checks through the turn, bet all in on the river.

I agree. I think check raising all in with the flush draw out there is necessary, although why would he bet if he had a flush draw instead of giving himself a free card?? I think there are just a lot of poor players out there. I also agree that you can slowplay this a lot if no hearts draws are out there. Depending upon the opponent, in first position, I'd even consider checking the river, hoping for him to bet.
