Default Re: pushing AA-QQ on flop with no overcards

You're letting too much money go.

For the times they hit top pair and want to see the river, you don't give them the chance.

And when they have a set, they call.

So, you lose the most and win the least most of the time.


I like to work their chips in. Bet 2/3 pot, bet pot, standard stuff.

Try to tie them to the pot slowly. (If the board is really draw heavy, bet more of course, but don't put yourself in a poor situation by overbetting the flop when only hands that beat you will call.)

Disclaimer: There are times, and espically at the 11s, when people will call with top pair. It happens a lot actually. But I think you'll gain more chips building the pot slower rather than just getting all of your chips in the middle the second the flop comes down.
