True, but for every guy who takes a stab with Axo and nets you 2 bets, there are 5 guys who would have called with J9 or 55.

PokerBob, sexy is right and the right play is sexy. Here we have a sexy man making a sexy play, and it was right. Sleek and sexy, I play it the same.

I know you've been waiting for the perfect time to lay this one down, so I'll do it for you.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH BEING SEXY?

Despite how sexy this play is, it's clear that betting out is the superior play EV-wise, against an unknown at 5/10.

Don't worry I always whiff on these too and Entity tells me how his would have worked. I just bet now it can't ever be that wrong.

IMO the EV isn't much different either way, but I like the message it sends.

But we both know there are TONS of guys out there who will stab at pots ike this when checked to on the river after calling with their Axo.

[/ QUOTE ]

Is this really taking a stab or is it value betting? I know in situations where I'll raise A8o on button, get 3 bet by the SB, then call down an A high flop until it's checked to me on the river, I always bet and it's virtually always good. I shouldn't be checking should I?

No, you should be betting in that scenario. A river c/r like the one bob is going for here is a rare thing, because most players have no reason to believe their opponent will bet, and the likelihood of it getting checked through is high.

Hmm...I dunno, most of the time that people call PFR's on an AKx two-tone flop, they either have the flush draw or an A or a K.

If they have the flush draw, we give ourselves a (vanishingly small) chance of inducing a bluff on the river, and in my experience a reasonable amount of 5/10'ers bet A's and K's here.

Just IMO.
