Default Re: 3 Hands from Tonight: Just to make sure.......

Hand 1: Easy fold.

Hand 2: You may still have the best hand, you are heads up, bet.

Hand 3: Easy river raise.

Peace,

I think a call is fine here. You could very easily have the best hand here, but not by much, especially because you are unsuited. You have too much equity to fold, but not enough of an edge to raise.

I disagree. If you are going to play ATo you have to play it like a big Ace, because it doesn't really have any other value.

ATo is an ace with a decent kicker. It is probably the best hand preflop, but not by alot, so I think this is one of those situations where you should forego a slightly profitable preflop raise to induce more expensive postflop mistakes from your opponents.

Raising preflop sets you up to take this down on the flop a large percentage of the time whether or not you flop a hand.

Do you really think you are folding 3-5 .5/1 players on just about any flop?

In addition, if you pair the Ten, it is much more vulnerable to overcards than a hand like AQ or AK making top pair queens or kings.

[/ QUOTE ]
If you do flop tens, overcard hands will be making a much bigger mistake by continuing if the pot was NOT raised preflop than if it was.
