Default Re: Long Time No Post : AJo on the Button

looks good. weaker aces will probably call, and as a bonus the A7/T7 hands are pissed now, whereas they might have pushed you off your hand had you raised the turn.

this board isn't great for the play because few non-ace hands will bet the river, but raising the turn is poor. the aces are still often calling (just as they are bet/calling the river most often), because big PPs might do this for fold equity, but the raise kills the few hands that don't have many outs but will bet the river anyway. also, since it looks like hero is isolating a weak player, there is the chance BB will be more inclined to play aggressively on the turn without an ace. a lot of players won't do this, but 3-betting OOP w/ something like KT is one way to destroy KK-JJ and any worse hand fooling around (planning to check/fold the river). when shown down, shania loves it.

by comparison, the river raise is innately stronger and much less likely to be 3-bet weakly.
