Perhaps I didn't articulate myself well, apologies. I agree it's not about sticking to a pf read. I mean that it's been raised pf and irrespective of what the flop brings, he bets or calls your bet. Then again on the turn.

So all along you are having to adjust accordingly.

In both cases (undercard flop or overcard) flop you oculd be beat from the get go by aces. However, I am more likely to feel ahead if the flop is blank. Should aces and kings hit the flop, that is when I am less likely to feel ahead. And facing action could mean Mr A8 or Mrs QK has hit, Madam 1010 is sticking to her guns or they're repping the ace. And this is when you have a decision to make.

Believe me, I've faced all of the above. There have been times i thought I wasdead, only to see them flip rage and times I thought I was well ahead, only to be suckered by the unbelievable 2 pair of 39.

Additionally, as a MTT/SNG player, I rarely have the luxury of sitting with someone for an hour to get a read nor do I always have the luxury of being stacked enough to let QQ go.

If I am missing aspects of your post, let meknow. Thx.
