Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$0.5/$1 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (5 handed)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A:d, A:c.
2 folds, BU raises, Hero 3-Bets, BB folds, BU caps, Hero calls.

Flop: (9 SB) A:s, 2:h, 9:d (2 players)
Hero checks, BU bets, Hero raises

I think c/c flop - c/r turn would be better, he could even fold hands like KK to my checkraise on this dry board. I actually hate my play here.

I'd probably play this the same way, because some people won't believe that you have the A and call down with KK, QQ, JJ anyway.

If you want to slow play I'd go for c/c flop, c/c turn, donk river instead, because it makes it more likely that they'll call that extra bet instead of c/r the turn.


Check/call flop, check/raise turn is no option for me. He might check behind worse hands and if he bets he may fold almost any hand that would calldown to a flop check/raise.

The line from DukeFreedom sounds interesting but I prefer the direct check/raise a bit better as you will get called down often as well so you gain 1 extra SB and you also make your check/raise flop line stronger. If you start delaying your strong hands you might get called down lighter when you check/raise as a bluff.
