Default Re: Why Can\'t Hero Re-Raise Here?

You want to three-bet and hope you catch the <font color="red">A</font color>[img]/forums/images/icons/heart.gif[/img]? What happens the other 97% of the time? Why the hell does she want to get it heads-up with what is quite likely a vastly superior hand? She has a hand that depends on implied odds. Every third-street raise shortens those implied odds. She'd probably also prefer multi-way action so that she can get paid off if she hits.

You are correct when you say that few would expect a good player with an 8 in the door to three-bet after an Ace raised, but I think that there would be something very, very wrong with varying your play in the way you suggest in this spot.
