AKs in the BB, homogeneous flop, sizeable pot.

3-bet and lead turn. Reevaluate when either it is capped or a turn raise is thrown in. Fold when a spade hits on the turn unless it is K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

Why should I go nuts and 3-bet the flop when not only I can be against possible flush draw or straight draw, I can already be beat by flush or set (in which case I'm drawing dead) or 2 pair. I would try to get to showdown as cheaply as posssible.

If this plan includes checking the turn it's a horrible plan.

3-Bet. Slow down to a cap.

Pray that another spade does not fall, and take it from there.

The first opponent may be raising for a free card and the second cold-called, which could also mean he is looking for a 4th club. If you check, and they both check, that is horrible for you.

You can be beat so you should play passively? How is this an argument?

[alul]

On the other side the first opponent may have 2 pair and raise. What are you doing in that case? And anyway, why 3-bet the flop?

[alul]

You have to pick spots to play aggressively, if you always play aggressively no matter what you become just a regular bully. I just don't think this is a spot to show aggression.

I didn't advocate 3-betting. Check my original post in this thread.
