I think that the choice is between raising the flop or non A turns. I'd prefer to raise the flop... and see what develops. I may mix it up a little, but air on the flop raise 75/25.

This is definitely my default line.

But suddenly I wonder whether it makes more sense to raise the flop if villain is overly aggressive. I'm thinking that if you raise the flop, villain takes that less seriously, and might actually reraise or even donk the turn. In that case, you can just call the turn and plan to raise a non-A river.

Without a predictably aggressive opponent, though, I think I'd rather plan to raise the turn.

i auto raise here. AUTO. My game is agressive enough that it tends to leave other plays for later [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Are you autoraising this flop?

He is often betting with 3 outs and u want to AUTOtell him he should fold? (If u just call he will normally bet turn, I guess we can agree on that)

Would u also autoraise flop in same situation if u had A6o and he 3bet and flop was Axx?

raise the flop, if he 3 bets i either cap, and call down. or i just call the 3 bet and a turn raise, or call and just get 1 bet in on each street, depending on how i feel at the table.

Against thinking opponents, dont you have to sometimes raise with good hands here in order to make your freecard raises (and caps) work?

I like raising the flop half the time, waiting half the time. Mixing it up is good.

I like raising the flop and calling down after 3bet best for a couple reasons:

1) Guys will 3bet with TT, hearts, etc. etc.
2) Guys will call you down more liberally because the flop is draw heavy if you raise the flop
3) I don't like the thought of not seeing a showdown against a semi-unknown TAG who 3bets the turn.
