Top hand - flop no help

Any tips on what to do here?

E.g another player dishes out a biggish raise and you have AK, AQ AJ or any big top cards and you call.

What do you do when the flop is crap and all you have is a high?

What would you do especially if low on chips?

Thanks

Depending on what the villain is like, I'm probably reraising instead of cold calling with AQ or AK. With AJ, I'm either reraising (only if I sense weakness) or folding - it's not a strong enough hand in my book to be cold-calling for its value.

If I'm reraising, then I'm representing something big, so I bet big on the flop. If he cold calls me, then I reevaluate, and try to figure out what he's got and why he's calling.

Shortstacked, I will never cold call one of these hands PF, I'll push.


hope this helps; just my way of playing those big cards, though if you prefer cold-calling PF, then don't hit, it's probably best to let your hand go if you're facing another bet.

Thanks Chuck, very useful as i always make mistakes with this, especially when im shortstacked
