Default Re: \"A Pair of Fours\" Again

I find all this talk about a value bet here crazy. I notice that conveniently no one answers the question of what they plan to do if they get check-raised. Call or fold?

If you are going to bet this hand... where does it end? 33, 22, AK... they're all essentially the same hand in this context. Are you betting AK for valure here? Are you laying it down when you get check-raised? Is there any hand which is too strong to bluff with but too weak to value bet? Name it.

Now, if your assumption is that your opponents suck and they call with everything and never bluff raise, then fine. You can make assumptions about your opponents which will make any bet correct. But to bet this as your default play against tough opposition? That can't be right. I think.

My 2 cents.
