Default Re: Poll: Facing a Check-Raise

Excellent point Ghazban, regarding the fact that any hand strong enough to check-raise in that position is really, really hurting against AA.

I actually voted to reraise (which am now rethinking) - and I would either reraise All-In (75% of the time) or min reraise (25% of the time) in hopes of getting another reraise to shove me All-In/pot commit us.

My logic here was that if the 3rd heart does fall I am not going to be feeling so great about my situation and I do not envision someone with a big hand (middle set, bottom set, or two pair) dropping it to my reraise. However, as I think about it a little more, I would possibly chasing out TPSK and losing some equity in the process.

So my question is this...if the 3rd heart falls on the turn (and does not pair the board), what is our strategy: try to check to the showdown? Ignore the heart and bet/call the turn? Ignore the heart and raise the turn?
