Re: Getting into Battles Too Early On? Interesting Hand & Analysis

The reason for betting out the flop is to get information. You got it, now use it.

Great analysis and thanks for taking the time to read my wordy post.
I'm going to read (and reread) what you said because I think there are some small gems in there.
I think the best point you made is that my hand is giving terrible reverse implied odds. I mostly likely don't get paid off if either a) I am best or b) improve to the best hand on the turn. This does, in retrospect, seem like a win small/lose big situation. Perhaps I should fold to the flop min-raise simply because hitting an A here will get me into more trouble? The next best play, I think, is calling the flop bet, betting around 175-200 on the turn, and folding to a raise, and perhaps check/calling the river depending on the bet size (and assuming a [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] doesn't fall).
