Message: [QUOTE="Irexes, post: 479707, member: 13873"] Pretty much. It's the element of suprise that does it. dermopskater had every reason to believe his K high was good in the second hand Dorkus, I mean it's Kingfreakinghighwithathreekicker!!!11!!!!1. (Seriously though, the last thing you want with AA is to give the blinds a chance to hit something nasty on the flop, but early in an MTT when people are pushing TPTK or even top pair no kicker, I'll take a chance with a min raise occassionally backing myself to lay it down if it gets ugly, I'm not wedded to my bullets anymore. His pot sized bet in the second hand indicated 9x or TT at best so I felt pretty safe there. Similar kind of situation on the first. Nice flops in both cases and the other guy betting out contained a lot more information than a check. Once things progress to decent blinds I'm putting in "proper" raises to define any callers hands a lot better.) [/QUOTE]
