Big Slick Question

Alright, here is the situation. You get dealt AKo in the button and only have 1 person call before it gets around to you. You raise 3xBB and that person calls. The flop comes 9 10 K (rainbow). They Check, do you bet? Or do you check to set a trap?

That's a pretty draw heavy board to be trapping on. Your giving hands with a single Q or J a chance to draw out on you. Bet now.

I'm almost always betting here. Of course it depends on some other factors (like what limit we're playing, ring game/tourney, stacks...you know, all those other things we really need to know to evaluate a decision), but most cases I lead for 1/2 to 2/3 of the pot.

They could be trapping you with 99 or QJ. I would bet - they could draw out on you with AQ, AJ and J10 too. Define your hand.

I concur.

Bet, but beware, just as you want to trap them, they would would love trapping you. 1/2 pot bet should give you the pot, or info. Should you get a call, you should seriously consider you are already way behind. Doesn't mean you are but do not discount the possibility.

If there's any straight or flush draws then bet. If the flop came 3 separated cards of all different suits, like K 7 2 rainbow notice there is not even a gutshot straight draw here so you can afford to give a freecard.

First of all I would bet more pf (4xbb + 1bb per limper if cash), but answering your question I would continuation bet this flop all day long. You have raised pf to hit an ace of K. You have achieved your goal, it's a drawy, dangerous board, 2/3rds pot bet please.

In this situation, against this flop, bet it. There's too many unpleasent possibilities here to give away free cards. Don't normally get into a check fest against a scary board. Lead at it and see where it goes from there.

id bet 2xBB to see where your at. also to get chasers out
