Re: Rare Flop Slowplay with AA
In a smaller pot I think this would be fine. But when I have a one pair hand that I think is best on the pot has 13 small bets in it when the action gets to me, the pedal is staying to the floor until they convince me I'm behind. I understand your reasoning, but for calling to be better some things have to go right. Throw in the times that one of them spews the flop with a worse hand and the times that you find out more cheaply that you are behind and I think raising the flop is best. I admit that I haven't put any numbers to these factors and so maybe I am incorrectly weighting them (and some others such as how frequently SB will fold anyway, improve to the best hand later when he would have folded, etc.), but the pot "feels" big enough and our hand "feels" vulnerable enough that calling the flop seems a little too cute to me.
