A new strong means weak play...

if people are less likely to give you credit, why make this move? i don't like it. any AK, AQ, and even AJ will call or push you here.

Hi AZK, makes sense, but you have to give MP3 A LOT of credit to be able to lay down ace good kicker here.

If he calls the turn you are done with it no?

edit - you have to be done with it

[FoxwoodsFiend]

I don't tend to try getting people off of an ace unknown kicker. Doesn't happen often enough. Check/fold or continuation bet but the check-raise is just not credible

Why not lead for 1/2 pot, if raised 3-bet? That shows way more strength than the PFR checkraising.

well... basically, he checked planning to give up... then when he saw that underbet (AZK is a serial pot bettor guy, most 2+2ers are...) and he thought, let me steal this pot!
if i am villain i will push this turn with impunity here, but luckily, his opponenent sucked... so AZK won the pot and therefore played it perfect (psssh).

AZK, you made that turn bet thinking that Villain would fold an A or a draw?

You bet this wuss-like with a set of Aces?
