[Quote BILLIBONG]=Lets suppose I have top pair like AK or KK on a T,Q,K all heart flop (of which I have no hearts in my hand), and my opponent bets out at me. Can I really give him credit for flopping a flush or a straight? Since the odds of floppin a flush or a straight is around 1%, would you think overall it would be more profitable to fold, or raise in this situation, and then fold if re-raised, but if called, keep betting at it? Now I know it depends on wha type of player your up agaisnt. But im askin overall what would probably be wiser if perhaps you dont have a read on that player.


In the situation with the KK, i would through out a raise, if he had either a flush or a straight its not very likely he will push unless he is short stacked. Even if he does you still have 9 outs to bet him on the turn and river so i would say through out a raise. AK isnt bad here either, you do have to be a little worried about the flush but i would raise anyways, a jack gives you the nut straight so this puts more pressure back on your opponent if he doesnt have the flush. In these two instances i would surely raise.
