Let's say you reraise an unfamiliar opponent preflop with AK / AQ and missed flop. Let's say his typical preflop 3-bet calling range is 88+ / AQ+. Give up, or try to represent AA/KK?

How would position affect our play?
How would flop texture (say JT2 or 852 or TT4) affect our play?

Vi-Zer0Skill is on a distinguished road
I very rarely reraise any ace but A-K when OOP, but regardless of my position if i stuck in the last raise preflop i am c-betting 100%. If i am called on the flop, i am like 90% of the time done firing at the pot(esp since another bet probably pot commits me, assuming 100xBB stacks).

If i were IP, made a reraise PF and my opponent (OOP) made a standard bet at the pot, i am done posturing AA/KK. I fold, and make a note that he saw me lay down a hand to aggression after reraising preflop.

Basically, position and board texture aren't really relevant for how i play big aces where i stuck a reraise in preflop. This is because would the texture of the flop change how you would play the hand if you had AA/KK? With a big pair, you would still bet on all of these flops, prob 3/4PSB (looks strongest); J-10-2, 8-5-2, T-T-4 .

Well, on 20NL I find bluffing on the flop very efficient, at 50NL you will get busted _alot_ of the times. It's all about if you have a read on your opponent, or if it's a loose table or not.

In games where light 3-betting isn't very common (almost all FR games, a lot of low stakes 6-max games) you should c-bet every flop. They'll give you credit for AA/KK and it will be the EZ money. In games with trickier players where 3-betting is more common, you can mix more checks in depending on reads and board texture. That's a huge strategy post in and of itself though.
