Default Re: AA - How to Protect My Hand

Anyone agree with this, or is this just plain wrong? The 9 on the turn lowers your pot equity. You have less of a hand to "protect". There are many cards, any 3,7,8,9,10,J,Q,K potentially helps your opponent, whereas the only card that helps you is an A. I don't see this as an autobet or a value bet situation, into 2 callers, with a scare card on the turn. Is it really worth that 1 turn bet here? Because if he misses the river, he check/folds, but if he hits, he gets you for at least 1 more bet. In other words, when he misses you win 1 bet, when he hits you lose 2. Keep the pot size in line with your pot equity. Your equity goes down, so don't put any more money in the pot. Check the turn, you'll be glad you did when you call the river and he shows you 9 10!
