Popping the river.

[goofball]

A 48/12 player limps in from the SB, I raise with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] in the big blind, he calls.

He checks, I bet, he calls.

He bets, I raise.


When I raised the river I planned to fold to a 3bet. I know he's loose but it's hard for him to 3bet a worse hand there. I think I have to raise though since I see way too many opponents take this line with a worse A or an even crappier hand than that.

I never thought about raising when I'm in the position you're in. After looking at that board I think you did a great move.

Perfect. One of the few raise-and-fold-to-a-three-bets that I understand.

I see A2 in the SB take this line a lot (though 48/12s also often openraise A2 from the SB).

Looks like a solid value raise to me. Nice hand.

I raised he 3bet, EZ fold right?
