Re: Ace high on a ragged board in position
i wouldnt expect him to fold a 3outter like Ax, but often a 3 outter would. the only sense a turn raise makes is if you think there is value in a river bet.
raising for free showdown plays when you cant fold a better hand is pointless unless you gain a bet on the turn when the opponent would have checkfolded a weaker hand on the river or the metagame considerations of making the play are rather high, which they usually arent especially if youre playing on party where the playerbase is so large. |

Re: Ace high on a ragged board in position
I'm not going to bet the river if he checks to me and I think there's a good chance he'll check ace high on the river. I don't agree that a turn raise only makes sense if I think there's value in a river bet.

Re: Ace high on a ragged board in position
so what does raising accomplish against a weaker ace high hand?
