If you raise pre flop with a big Ace, and you pair your ace on the flop or the turn, don’t go to war on the turn with just a pair of aces. If someone raises you on the turn, just call them down. Your pair of aces is a naked hand. Everyone knows what you have, or at least strongly suspect it. So if they are raising you on the turn, they are representing strength to rival top pair top kicker.

This holds regardless of how good the player is. They can be the loosest bluffing maniac, but when they raise you on an ace-high board be careful. Even nut cases have hands, and the nutcases who know what they are doing are just waiting for the opportunity to crack your AK wide open. Don’t give them the satisfaction of going nuts with them.

The point of this article is second level thinking and third level thinking. If your opponent raises you, so it means he has pretty much pinned down your hand range. This is second level thinking, in other words what does your opponent think you have. In obvious situations like this one with clear second thinking, it is usually better to give up the hand than to take a chance. A bluff in this spot only would occur at the high stakes, as this would be fourth level thinking.
