No cont. bet? Unless you got a good read and are totally ready to give up on the hand, its weak tight what you did. Go to bed and feel betta in the morning.

Raise more pre-flop? Maybe even all-in? You only have 12-13BB's and with a limper, I would just shove 'em

On the flop CB or chk-fold? It seems like you didn't have a plan and just accidently called off all your chips [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Tough spot, continuation bet is really expensive, since the pot is greater than half his stack. Shame you didn't pick up this hand on the Button, or you'd take the pot on the flop. I play this the same, except I lead the turn, and fold once he pushes. If he calls the turn, he definately gets the rest on the river.

pf is fine. what were you going to do if he bet the flop? even though you were clearly not happy to see the Ace, with no reads i don't know if i can give him credit for it. folding here seems weak IMO. i think i'd have cbet the flop.

im betting postflop. if he calls or reraises im finished with the hand.

Is one overcard really that scary? The ace could aswell scare villain as much as it did to me. I bet the flop and if he calls, I push on the turn no matter what comes. If he reraises my flop bet tho, I would have to go on my reads.

The fact that the A is scary to all the hands that we beat means that he's not likely to call us on the flop with a hand that doesn't beat us.

betgo: I like your line; I think it's important to note that it's very stack-size dependent.

And you don't think that its suspicious that the PFR checks when checked to on a flop with an ace in? That looks like an ace to the other guy if he has half a brain. I think you have to bet that flop, 99-QQ may still call you as they may think the flop missed you and reevaluate on the turn. If you are willing to lose all your chips on an ace high flop at least bet it. If you bet and are check raised I think you can let it go fairly easily. If you are called and checked to at the turn then I have no problem in losing all your chips as you may still scare a weak ace away. When a PFR checks a flop with an ace on last to act then I put him squarely on trapping me, what do you assume?

There's probably no simple, effective, and always-correct way of playing that situation but check-calling off all your chips is definitely one of the worst ways of doing it.

My options would've been to either check-raise the flop all-in, or cont. bet it. Either/or, opponent dependent.
