    Default $4nl AA in the big blind

    I find myself getting into bad situations playing big pocket pairs on a paired board.

    Pre: After calling my 3-bet, I figure his range to be AA-JJ, AK-AJ.
    Flop: Standard c-bet.
    Turn: Check out of fear of check-raise. Call his bet since that's about the bet size I would have made. This is the trouble spot for me. I assume the range to be about the same since I don't really have a read on him.
    River: I assume I'm ahead, but bet small in case he shoves.

    know the enemy and know yourself, and in 100 battles you will never be in peril.

    know yourself but ignorant of the enemy, your chances of winning are half.

    if ignorant of yourself and of your enemy and you will always be in danger.
