Hand Quiz #14, Question #2

[Matt]

You hold 8:hearts:8:spades: in middle position. So far, you have been making a lot of pre-flop raises and playing aggressively after the flop. You open with a raise. Only the big blind calls. The flop comes 4:diamonds: 4:hearts: 3:diamonds:. The big blind checks. You bet and he raises. You three-bet and the big blind calls. The turn is the A:hearts: . Your opponent checks. What's your move?

[Matt]

You have to follow through with a bet here. The A:hearts: may scare your opponent just as much as it scares you. You do not want to give him a free card, especially if he is on a flush draw. If you are check-raised you can safely fold.
