Hello! I have a doubt. It has happened to me many times that I have a premium hand, such as AA or KK and on the flop there are two or three cards of the same color. In those cases I usually bet half the pot or 3/4 in case my opponent had a project, but it almost never happens and they fold. I always think that with that bet I prevent myself from getting a better value from my cards. Obviously depends on the opponent, but would it be better to play less aggressive those hands to get more value?
Hello
I play toppair/overpair the same way you do m8 !
Raise/3bet/4bet (only AA,KK & QQ) preflop , and continuation of about 2/3 of pot . Don't think you're getting less value cause you choose to play aggressively , its much better play on long run then to check , he hits his 3 outs , you lose (are busted) and are mad cause you played it badly ! - maybe its just me idk
Honestly , I rarely fold when I have top pair or overpair in pots where I raised/3bet/4bet , so I'm not gonna slowplay them either , or I'm not gonna play poker till I get better LOL (books , vids etc.)
its better to extract little preflop value , then play badly and losing your stack , specially on tourneys !
hope my perspective helped you in anyway and gl at the tables m8
