Default Re: Pocket Aces and a beginner

[ QUOTE ]

Let's say that you are playing a hand where you have 40% equity, Player A has 30% equity and Player B has 30% equity. If you bet, Player B will always fold and the pot is right now 9 BB (before you either check or bet 1 BB). Is he making a good fold? Are you making a good bet?

The majority of the equity in knocking someone out in a hand like this is going to go to the current best made hand. Odds are, that's going to be the AA. If someone flopped a set and blanks keep falling, this is going to be an expensive hand...so be it.
