Missed Flop/Turn After Reraising Blind Steal

[lwestatbus]

How do you play if you have a big ace in the blinds, are raised by a late-position player who is first in the pot (they are blind stealing), and then you completely miss the flop, turn, and even river if you stay in that long?

I will always reraise a blind steal with a big ace but the situation of missing everything crops up with some regularity. I would be interested in how you play out this situation through each street (including preflop) if you completely miss everything but there is a mix of cards on the board. If you wish to qualify your answer based on what you know about your opponent please feel free to do so.

You must consider that you have to play the hand post flop out of position, I would raise an amount about 3-5 times villains raise amount, denying odds for villain to call, , a competent player on a steal attempt should fold without the odds to call. If I miss the flop and depending on the texture of the board you have now shown strength and villain will be playing more cautiously, you can either make a continuation bet of about half pot or check with a view to fold. If you make a continuation bet and get called and the river is a blank, then unless you have a good read on villain and think firing another barrel is correct checks folding would be my preference.

Don't underestimate the odds that on a junk flop/board, if you've started playing back at a guy with your big AX that has whiffed, there's a good chance he's connected enough to stick around.

I've seen plenty of people decide to take a stand against a regular LP raiser and fail horribly at getting them off a pot because they do it on entirely the wrong board.
