Re: Pokerroom $5 rebuy AA hand

I dont like the free card. Chances are you good you are ahead right now and that turn card sucked. Not sure if the turn is the 8 or 9 of clubs since both were giving but it puts a two way straight draw on the board and a backdoor flush. Checking the flop also gives him control of the situation. I would rather be in charge here and not give him oppurtunity to catch up.

A free card is not a problem on this flop. Even if he has QT that's only four outs because an A fills you up. He can't catch two pair. If he has a J or pocket pair you want to give him a chance to think he has you beat. If he he unpaired undercards, you want him to catch one of his six "outs."
You don't have to check the flop. Depending on your image, a check may be viewed as strength. And you don't have to feign weakness every time you have AA on a paired flop. But you should sometimes.
This idea that you have to bet to get information is wrong too. A check is an action too and can elicit a readable response. What does he think it means when you check? What hands will he bet when you check? These are questions with answers.
