Tricky spot with AK

[boldie]

same as wellchief. fold now, but bet more on flop next time. $25 is too low for value and information in the long run

Geeforce bets for information. The defence rests its case.

LONG LIVE THE INFORMATION BET!

i am lost. did i say a bet soley for information? how do we make reads without information?

Just rely on blind luck like the rest of us

no, but combining a value bet with an informative probe was what ur getting at no?

information probe? u are completely missing my point and originally went about it with a lot of class. if on that flop u bet 4$ u gain no value OR information. ppl may play bk at ur weakness more, but it is impossible to know if this is with a better hand or not. when the bet is $40 some1 playing back at you holds more value. AND versus hands you do beat you lose value. IMO $25 has the same flaws (to a lot lesser extent) as the $4 example.

Not sure about this line, but hey not bothered, sure iv taken it the wrong way.

I agree with what you are saying. My view is that a larger bet gives you solid information on where you are in the hand to some degree, whilst also getting value from second rate hands (KQ/KJ).
