Even more of a reason to just bet out in my opinion.

Are you prepared to call to the river? If you call now your hoping for an Ace. If you think you can hit your two outer go ahead - otherwise it's an easy fold.

I agree there is nothing to think about here.

This would be an easy fold in this game almost every time I've played it.

Has it been running again recently? I haven't bothered driving out there since my friend told me it didn't go one weekend about a moth ago...

You also have to consider he could have a hand like 99 also.

given that the opponents are both solid players, i think there's no way the re-raiser (bb, iirc) has 99. you raised preflop, and they both called. now you've got a substantial re-raise on the flop. no solid player thinks their 99 is good enough to re-raise in that situation. sadly, i think the aa is beat.

Default Results and Thoughts

When I saw this flop I remember thinking how great it was for my hand. I practically have a lock against most hands that would call me preflop, and a lead out bet would likely get raised with suspicion of stealing.So here's how it went down. I put the CO on some kind of mid-pair when he raised me, possibly lower then the 5 on the board. When the BB re-raised I couldn't tell if he had me beat or had a weakish drawish hand again, just like he had before when he check raised from early position. So I called with hopes of the CO's action to follow to make it an easier decision, if he goes all in and BB calls i can safely let it go. To my dismay though the CO folded. I then proceeded to clean the table with my srubiness. So with a bit of sarcasm here's how the entire hand played out.


flop: 557
BB:check
me: bets $50
(sorry guys, got you beat)
CO: raised to $150
(we'll have none of that in this establishment)
BB: raises to $300
(Sorry boys, i'm the one with an actual hand here)
me: calls $300
(no , really I got it)
CO: folds
{alrite, alrite. I was just fooling around)

Turn: 557(K)
BB:bets $400
(two cards could've been dealt out and i wouldn't have cared,
*shows his hand*)
ME:raises all in
(hmm, didn't quite get a good enough look at those 7's, guess I'll have to pay to see them again)
BB:Calls
(ok, here they are)

River: 557(K)(x)
BB: shows 77 for a full house
me: shows AA for two pair


After the hand I couldn't believe I doubled him. He made it very clear that he had a monster. I've folded aces when it was less obvious I was beat, but for the life of me I couldn't get that earlier hand, where he check-raised with a weakish drawish hand, out of my head. Though now I see how both hands are worlds different. Oh well, thanks for all of your comments.
