Middle Pair
First hand as I just sat at the table. I don't know anything about these guys.
This is something that always gets me. Middle pair, not just this hand, but middle pair on any board/hand. Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (6 max, 5 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx Preflop: Hero is BB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB completes, Hero checks. Flop: (3 SB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> SB checks, Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP bets</font>, SB folds, Hero... I find myself getting caught in this situation A LOT of times. |

Re: Middle Pair
Bet that board baby. You have the best hand so often here, it's a no brainer.

Re: Middle Pair
I raise and lead the turn. This looks like a purely positional flop bet.

Re: Middle Pair
Can this be said with alot of middle pair flops or is there something else to look at, like preflop betting patterns?

Re: Middle Pair
I love betting boards with Aces on them.

I love betting boards with Aces on them. [/ QUOTE ] Is this sarcastic or not? MP didnt raise preflop, so the only ace he could logically have is ace-rag. I think that it is very likely hero has the best hand. |

If the hand he is likely to hold is A-rag, and there is an Ace on the board, should I just fold and move on? Or is it because I don't have any reason to believe that he is holding an Ace at this point? |

Re: Middle Pair
People love to chase their Aces, so betting a Q high flop gets lots of calls. However betting an A high flop can make most fish fold a lot of their unpaired hands- why would you bet anything other than the Ace? Sure, often times they'll have A5, but obviously if you do some thinking about it more often than not they wont.
