    Default Aces vs. Awful flops

    You have pocket Aces. You raise pre-flop a good 4 times the blind. You get two callers. Flop comes something like 10,10,4 or a flop thats all suited but neither of your suits. You bet again after the flop, one folds and one calls. You fear he's hit his three of a kind or flush and just letting you bet into him. How should this hand be played. I fear a check just gives an invitation to a steal, although betting aggressively might lose you more chips in the long run. Tell me what you think.

    Thanks

    Flushes and paired boards like this are totally different beasts.

    First, you need to know your players. Do they draw, alot?

    With the paired board, especially with TT3 vs a PF raise, I'm still thinking MHIG!

    On the flush board... I gotta make a probe bet on the turn, depending on what it is, to get a reaction out of him.

    Being an internet geek, I now forgive you.

    well.. most good players will raise you if they have flopped the flush (unless they flopped the ace-high nut flush)... so most of the time when they call, on a 3 suited board, it means there drawing
