Re: Hypothetical Poker Situation


Ok, you raise 5xBB with AA, button calls. Flop 333, you bet 2/3 of the
pot, button calls. It's early in the tourney, so you don't have any sort
of read on him. Turn is a T. Now what, action is on you.

Assuming I have no read is absurd. There are common tendencies that
run across players.

However, if it were online, I would check the turn intending to
raise. If I get re-raised all in, I'd consider folding. This line
has the advantage of possibly separating the 3's from the TTs. It
also might very well induce a bluff on the turn or river and get me
money out of unpaired high cards or a small pair that's going to fold
otherwise.
