Folding AK on AKx flop to check-raise

[renegaderob1]

Yeah great points raised griffey.

Thank you for raising point 3. I hadn't thought about it like that. I suppose it also means your 4b bluff raises get to be smaller overall which is also helpful

Yep, smaller 4b size is also nice! They might also be more willing to flat a small 4b OOP, which is fine by us. Playing a large pot IP can't be that bad.
