How to respond to a probable bluff raise on flop

[creedofhubris]

Why this forum is insanely useful ;-)

Hero has AA.

Hero ($500) makes it 25 preflop, one loose caller ($380).

Flop is

Hero bets $40, villain makes it $100 to go. Hero pauses, notes his ace of hearts, and decides that he's going to check-raise allin any turn; calls.

Turn comes blank, hero checks, villain bets $100, hero check-raises all-in... villain folds.

Anyway, not quite the same hand since there were draws. The more important difference is the lack of overcards, which makes check/call better than move in.

But it's basically the same idea.

My default in these situations has usually been to bet out the turn, but I think this was a much better line.
