I don\'t want to Hold\'em
Ok, I am learning the game according to my plan. I have a question I have not seen addressed by the books or the forum.
I am in a hand with AKs. I get to the flop and it is junk, pure junk. Now the books show this hand and it allways turns out well, but in real life it just is not the case. I have been folding but wonder what it says to the table. Maybe they figure I was chasing with bad cards or that I was chasing with good cards. Do you think it matters? My understanding on this hand is that it is worth a raise and possibly a reraise considering possition and the other players habbits. So if I have bet the hand strong what message am I sending the table if I fold. A few times it has been checked to me and I still folded because I really did not see the wisdom in playing the hand further even with a free card because if an A came I would tip my hand when I bet. Just looking for some thoughts on this. Thanks

Re: I don\'t want to Hold\'em
if the flop brings a bunch of rags for you, chances are they are rags for everyone at the table. raise because you showed strength preflop. if you hold AK and the flop comes
a 2-5-9 rainbow, you probably still have the best hand. and if someone hit a pair from the board it is a small pair, and should fold to your raise.

Re: I don\'t want to Hold\'em
I would recommend Winning Low Limit Hold'Em by Lee Jones. It's a reasonably good beginning primer on solid limit hold'em play. It addresses the topic of playing when you flop two overcards (as well as basic treatments of other general categories of situations). Get the second edition.
