Hello Hawks (you mean Atlanta Hawks win? is Trae Young a future MVP and a new Steph Curry? :)),
I hope this answer helps you.
Ahhhhhhhh I am from Chicago (Blackhawks Hockey, which is going downhill quite quickly I must say). I just can't get into NBA but it is interesting with the players that will be coming out this year. They need to rebuild after they just couldn't get it done during the D-Rose era.
My thinking is bet/fold any AA combo without club and check the Ac. I am not bluffing AA here but it is on the thin side into 2 other players (can certainly be called by some worse). With Ac, I don't ever want to be betting into set/straight here, I want to check back vs. that range. Bet/folding with such a massive BDFD and 2 outs to top set would be bad I presume.
Haha, now I see :)
So it seems that we have very similar ideas about spots like this.
Yeah, it's quite easy to be beat here and I think stack depth simplifies things really.
I think we need to cbet smaller or check. I feel a portion of our EV comes from hands like AJ, KQ, KT, when the turn is a none club A,K,Q,J,T and he pairs, we get an extra street of value. If we cbet too big those hands will outright fold on the flop. It's also a pretty good spot for BB to bluff raise so we reduce his bluff EV when we cbet smaller. As played I tend to be sticky in obvious bluff spots and call once to force villain to bluff twice.
Gross spot. I would probably fold. Getting this much action on this board sucks.
A case could be made for checking the flop as well.
Yeah, I agree looking at it closer. I think it's a two street hand on this board anyway AND I don't need over card protection. Smaller size or check is better choice. Can extract maybe a bit of value from draws but there are going to be a ton of unpaired two tone hands that might catch up on some turns. QQ, JJ, TT benefit more from protection than AA and KK here.
