He's Picked up a real hand here, Ace Ace

Lost the hand history. I have pocket aces with blinds at 100/200, Partypoker $22 MTT. 415 people. No reads on the villain who calls my raise to 575.

He's right behind me, i'm 3rd to act.

Flop comes: Kd 8d 7 spades

Pot is 1450.

I bet 850. Villain who has the same amount of chips as me (4100) pushes.

How would you play the flop as far as betting. What about raising preflop. Instacall here, right?

[Firefly]

Betting looks about right. Instcall that push. You see flush draws, K's and other trash here enough to have +EV here.

575 too small from that position. I hate wasting aces with a ton of donkastic guys around.

My roomate who was watching said I should check this flop here...I highly disagree, I'll explain his reasoning in a second.

Ummm...i cant see any good rationale to check this flop...yeah, i like the bet on the flop...and i'm calling this every time pretty much...oh btw...i'm sure your aces dont include the A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]?...you didnt mention...but im guessing not

I had two black aces.

you can't make rationally think of the advange of checking in that way... the only advantage of checking the flop is to induce a bet and then CR yourself all in.

I like that play because its not as volatile since you're not allowing flush draws to move in. If he has a K, the money will most likely go in anyway but you may not want a flush draw to raise all in and then draw at you.

against aggressive oppenants, I like checking the flop and then CR opp who will bet flush draws.

like INSTAcall. I mean, I break my keyboard and give myself a hernia clicking call. the way my finger moves to the button to click call, it's as if I'm breaking the laws of motion. I'd create a black hole in my speed to click the call button. instaINSTAINSTAcall
