Ace King in Low Limit Hold Em.

[JMT23]

:confused: OK, Phill Hellmuth says that you should bet the flop even if there is no ace or king on the board. T.J. Cloutier says that Ace King is crap if someone bets and you should fold your hand because all you have is Ace King. Now In Limit hold em it is hard to bluff. Everyone calls to the river and the person who has a pair of dueces will call. Which Stategy is the most correct? How do you play Ace King after a crap flop? :

Certainly dump it in limit hold'em after the flop, unless you are last to bet and no one else does. You might try to bluff it on the flop in NL hold'em, but not in limit hold'em. In NL hold'em you play your opponents. In Limit hold'em, you play your cards. If there are no As or Ks on the flop, you fold, because the odds are not in your favor if any of your opponents are paired or higher. In this case, Cloutier is correct.

How do you know the aren't in his favor? You have no Idea how much money is in the pot. Here's the scoop if you think that top pair will stand up you have 6 outs of 47 unseen cards or roughly 7-1 againt hitting a king or ace in one card. Therefore if it's only one bet to you and there is more then seven small bets in the pot (quite likely as you raised pre-flop). You have the odds to peel one more off.
