As is said in that thread, c/r the flop underreps the strength of your hand and encourages top pair hands to raise to try to get you to fold what they assume is AK. Of course if you do go for the c/r and it's 3-bets back to you I might be able to find a fold . . . maybe.

thats not an argument to forgo CRing.

I guess the point is if villains will get aggro with hands you beat you need to say in there, even if you're facing 3-bets cold. Vs nits and tight players the 3-bet should be enough to get you to lay it down as you're likely behind and drawing very thin.

I think going for a c/r makes the hand more difficult to play - but on the other hand it may help you make a better decision. I don't think I'd make it standard or anything, but probably good for mixing up your play in that spot.

I hate a flop like this w/ aces OOP. Id rather bet the 3 bettor with information than have to call 2 cold w/o.

I have played hours with him and never seen anything less(utg+1). The other is a pretty tricky tag player who is a 15 reg. (button)

so heres the hand.
(the players mentioned are utg +1 and on the button.
I am in the bb.

the action goes. 4 limps to me in the bb. I look down to red AA and raise. Everyone calls.

NOTE: the sb mucked his hand weird and it flipped up a3o.

The flip comes 789 with two spades. I bet. UTG raises. Folds to Button who 3!. and I... fold?

At the time I was not sure if this was the right play or not, but i couldn't see any hand i was actually beating at the time and figured I was drawing way to slim with only 1 a left in the deck and it being the A of spades
So is anybody else ever folding this or am I much worse at poker than I thought?

Canterbury 8/16 no ****ing way am I folding here otf ... I'd 4b and then you'd have your answer.

lol thats the first thought i would usually have here but with the players who were betting and raising. I still feel pretty good about that fold.
