Passive Aggressive AA

by the same token, if hero bets pot and villain raises, hero still has to put in $800 to see the river, and has lost all of his folding equity by taking this line.

im not sure, however, that folding equity is of utmost importance here, as villain is not folding a flush, and likely not a set. The only hands we have beat i could see villain calling a CR w/ are big pairs w/ a diamond.

so i think check-calling the turn is best here, as it allows hero to see the river as cheaply as possible. If villain pots the turn and hero calls, there's ~$1200 in the pot and hero has just ~$400 left behind, so i suppose the operative ? then becomes, what to do if the river bricks? It comes down to hero's read on villain, imo: is villain capable of firing pot on turn, and then setting hero in on a blank river card w/ hands we beat?

this is tricky w/o a good read on villain . . .
