Default Re: Please tell me this was standard play. AA no read.

pretty standard.....villains are raising draws on a board like that quite a bit...typically i'll play back at them as well. If you run into two pair you have outs, if they have a set it just sucks.

You have 1 pair and no reads on a relatively scary board. You are out of position, so I would raise a larger amount pre-flop. I would probably raise to $2 instead of $1.4. It's OK to take down a small pot right here.

A straight is possible on the flop, however it is unlikely. You have to ask yourself what your opponent would raise with pre-flop, call your re-raise, and raise on the flop. You can probably eliminate T8. With no read I would probably narrow it to 77, 99, JJ, QQ, KK, AhKh, or AA. A hand like QhTh might be a possibility as well. Your hoping your opponent has KK, QQ, or AhKh. You are about even money against the QhTh. You are drawing thin against the rest. I probably call the flop re-raise to see what the turn brings. If it doesn't look like it will help my opponent I go all in there.
