    Pre Flop: (675.00) Hero has Ad Ah

    Hero raises to 665.00, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, BB calls 365.00

    Flop: (1705.00, 2 players) Kd As 4s
    BB bets 300.00 hero???

    ok, I have a monster. he's blocking bet to me represent an attempt to steal or an attempt to inflate the pot by me raising, right?
    So I think I'm NOT folding ;-) AND NOT raising ( I hate doing what my opponent would like me to do !)
    Also, 'cause of the FD, if it hits I could always fold my AA.....long shot but I don t want to loose too many chips.

    anyway what would be the best play here?

    Of course I would raise in a cash game, big time!

    but here , I really don t know.

    thanks for any help

    ...I'm NOT folding ;-) AND NOT raising...

    call?

    raising is the better play, even if it leads to getting in the effective stacks(30k). You're ahead of everything, and really shouldn't be afraid of anything. You should want to play this hand for their stack.

    Even if you call and the Turn is a blank spade, are you really folding here? What if it is the Ks? Which is why flatting is bad...

    Raise this flop to 1425 and see what happens. when they fold, you were not getting any more chips anyway. when they reraise, reraise! when they call, play poker on the turn...
