Hi,

In situations like this vs unknown, how do you usually extract max value?

OOP on the flop, i'm not a fan of cbetting because the flop hits my range pretty good, and I want to let him try to steal the pot. Do you c/r this flop?
OTT after c/c the flop, how would you play it?

Thanks!

Hero (BB): 102.6 BB
CO: 167 BB
BTN: 100 BB
SB: 110.2 BB

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has A♦ K♦

fold, BTN raises to 2.4 BB, fold, Hero raises to 7 BB, BTN calls 4.6 BB

Flop: (14.4 BB, 2 players) A♠ A♣ 2♦
Hero checks, BTN bets 4.2 BB, Hero calls 4.2 BB

Hero?
Turn: (22.8 BB, 2 players) J♥

Spoiler

Hero checks, BTN bets 20 BB, Hero raises to 91.4 BB and is all-in, fold

Hero wins 60.2 BB

bet, bet, jam. it's very obvious, but it works.

also following the line of reasoning in the thread this far, many regs never check/fold this flop (why check/giveup when you could probably cbet range profitably?), thus their checking range is never weak.
the best case is that they don't have Ax, but there are a lot of checks by weak Ax here. by default, i don't stab this when checked to.

of course, you might get someone to spew, reading you for something such as QQ that won't take the heat. but don't count on it.
