Flop Decision 20-40

[PokerPrince]

After the hand I said, "A8 no good huh?". He shook his head and said he held pocket Aces. Who knows if he had em' or not. For all I know he could have big draw and played it super-aggressively.

hi ulysses, poker
yea, i was typing and thinking at the same time. when i remembered poker's excellent position, i realized the correct move was not to call but to reraise. i approached from the perspective of whether or not a call was warranted, and then, upon realizing poker had the button, i quickly realized that he should reraise.

yea, i should have advised a reraise immediately, only when someone is debating whether a particular fold was correct, you're thinking more about whether to fold or call. as i delved deeper into this, to my surprise i realized that it was a call or reraise situation. i might have 290 posts ulysses, but i'm still new at this. you should see what happened at the ciaffone question thread. but i couldn't see the hidden 8 in the paragraph. whew....,but the advise was still accurate, albeit andy, just from another perspective.

Assuming he is an tight player his legitimate hands consistent with the pre-flop raise and post flop check re-raise are sets and overpairs and perhaps AK - specially if he thinks that he can get you to fold an AK which should be your min 3-bet hand.

Now, if he is a creative player, he could be bankshotting off the SB and would be willing to 3 bet the flop with a draw or perhaps even two overcards to greatly increase his chances of winning.

So, it depends on your read -- raise or fold.
