would you rather flop a set of Aces while holding AA as your hole cards or would you rather flop a set of 8's when your hole cards are 88? and the reason I ask this is because that Ace on the flop is a scare card and unless your opponent holds that A he may be reluctant to bet into you or to call your bet even if he hits his card :Example: lets say you hold AA vs KJ and the flop comes A-J-4 rainbow you have a monster and only a couple drawing hands but even tho he has mid pair with top kicker he's afraid of that ace... 2nd example : you hold 88 vs KJ and the flop comes J-8-2 rainbow, well now you still have a big hand and your opponent has top pair with a K kicker and is more likely to fire into you and seems like mid-small sets are more likely to get paid of then AAA. (OFC all situations vary) What is your thoughts about this?
