Confusing Hand

(1/7) > >>

coprey:
Ok. I was short stacked an hour ago and ready to exit, but I had a triple up followed by a double up and am now sitting on 60k with blinds at 2000/1000.

Im on BB and its folded around to SB who is an aggressive French player who flat calls.

I look and find AcJc

What should I do?

coprey:
ps this is a live game ;)

Swinebag:
Excellent! A hand analysis given in stages...

What stack has the SB got and what is the average stack?

coprey:
SB approx 90k

Me approx 60k

Average approx 45k

Swinebag:
Ok then...

I think the standard play here is to raise to  6 or 7K. I"d be surprised that for an aggressive player, he has only made up and not raised. He could be trapping with a monster but is most likely weak. By raising you could get more idea on the strength of his hand if he calls or comes over the top.

There may be situations where checking is fine here and that certainly keeps the pot small, but I"ll settle for the raise. most times he will fold.

The only problem is if he calls your raise then you are probably going to have to play a big pot
