i have a problem with big hands
when im in a tourney and raise real big with them, and get a caller, if the flop brings nothing but rags, i don't know what to do
i've tried betting strong to represent pockets,
I've tried just pushing all in thinking my AK will beat their AQ or AJ and to make them make a decision
either way i end up getting called and the guy has caught his rag and takes all my chips
EX: i raise AK preflop to about 3 or 4XBB and get 1 caller
flop comes something like 943 rainbow and desperate for chips i push
he turns over J9 after his call
i realize this is a terrible call on my PFR but it is a freeroll after all
even when they call with better hands they always manage to catch a miracle card
so my question is this:
what kind of bets do you put out after a big PFR on something like AK and hit nothing on the flop?
should I not be putting as much value as I do on AK?
lately i've decided if I'm anywhere close to short stacked, I'll just push to get a good showdown or most of the time just to steal blinds and antes
