I don't know about you guys but I always bet the flop here. Bet around 100-125 to make it look like the ace doesn't scare you.

Yeah I agree I would bet out on the flop, 125 or so. Quite often you will take down the pot right there after raising pre flop, if I get called I am done with it.

[Chris Daddy Cool]

bet this turn and get called by a naked diamond and take the free showdown, unless you spike a queen of course.

bump. I need some more thoughts.

I understand the argument, but I like pergesu's flop line because
1) People like playing hands with an A, regardless of kicker or raises
2) They won't release it very often fearing a better kicker.

It's true that you'll take this down almost every time when you aren't facing another A, but you'll find it here very often and they aren't usually going anywhere. To put in a bet of 125 on the flop means you'll have nearly a quarter of your stack in the pot on an A high board against 2 opponents. Interested to hear what some others think about this and why.

That being said, the original limper has checked twice and the guy that cold called the raise behind you checked the flop with position. It would seem much less likely that you're up against an A, and I'd throw in a bet of 100-125 on the turn. As Chris Daddy Cool said, if you get called you're looking to take a free showdown.

Min-check raise? Eww. I'd dump it, the same as if my flop c-bet got raised. I'd call the raise if I thought there was some chance of a cheap showdown, but that doesn't seem very likely now...

[liucipher]

Isn't this a clear fold at this point? I can't think of a single hand you're beating that minraises you. Granted, Villain could be acting "tricky" with a draw or lower PP, but I can't see you feeling comfortable on any river.
