I also hate the LRR - it lets crap in.

This is not why you should hate it.

Should I hate it because, at a passive table, there is too high a chance that we won't get an opportunity to 3-bet, and we would therefore miss out on an assload of value preflop?

Exactly. I would love people to play crap against my AA. Hell actually, I would love people to play anything against my AA.

BB check raises the flop and turn, he must have me crushed...right? Raise, call or fold?

BB's check/cap on the flop doesn't look good. I think you can fold the flop. His c/r on the turn makes folding easier IMO. I dump it and say [censored].

im either folding on the flop or showing down. and i dont fancy folding on the flop much.

[Fantam]

Both MP2 and BB have woken up on the flop with raises and reraises, and this has been followed by a bet and reraise on the turn.

You are getting ~ 10 to 1 to call and are probably IMHO behind to at least a set of 8's. The chance of your catching another A to fill up is about 23 to 1.

So in this instance, despite the big pot I would fold. I dont think that you will have the best hand often enough to make continuing worthwhile.

So, what are you giving BB credit for when he check/caps the flop into 3 other players? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
