2. How much are you c-betting?
3/4 - 4/5. If the flop was A 9 2 I'd c-bet closer to 1/2 - 2/3 and make AJ c/c instead of c-bet... if not AJ then def. AT and lower I c/c.

Prolly re-evaluate this whole thing after I got around the calculating combinations stuff.

3. What hands are you folding to a raise?
AJ, AQ (sans FD)


Bet: AK(12), AQ(12), AJ(12), KsQs(1), 77(3), 99(3), TT(6), JJ(6), QQ(6), KK(6), 67 total
Check/fold: KQ(15), 66(6), 88(6), 27 total
Bet/fold: TT(6), JJ(6), QQ(3), AJ(8), 23 total

What do we think about this?
I think betting 99-KK is bad, mmmkay. I c/c one street hoping to catch a bluff and play some poker. I generally don't like turning hands of some value into a bluff, although now I'm thinking there are a couple of situations where it makes sense, but not right there on a c-bet. You can still probably get the same amount of value on the turn and river with KK, QQ vs lower pairs... you're only loosing value against draws and you're in terrible shape against Ax.
