What do you think????

Played fine imo. If you feel he may bet a draw on the turn here if checked to then i might CRAI but you would have to know your player. As played i see nothing wrong.

In general i dont like building big pots OOP after a raise with AQ. If he wont fold to a reraise then there's no point raising here.

From the flop onwards i think you played it fine although i'd probably bet a little more on flop but you're still giving bad odds to call for a draw so its no biggie.

I'm guessin he sucked out or has a house/AK

Check turn.

peeko

im guessing 27o just because you've made him out to be that much of an idiot

valor

Check that turn to induce bluffs. Apart from that its fine

I see no reason to check the turn here.

This is well played I guess.

He prolly has TT/66/AK, and it sux.

You need to know his calling re-raise range. (i.e. does he continue postflop with AJ for example, and can he call with 7s8s?).

AmarilloFats

HE had TT..
Thing is.. Once turn comes I think its WAYhead/WAYBehind situation.
After playing with him for another few hours I realised that once he calls my Flop bet I know I am beat, he has TT 66 AK.

I think I badly misplayed this hand.
The Ace on turn GIVEs THE ILLUSION of improving my hand's strength. But it doesn't really change alot.

waddaye think?

Well you gotta know what kinda hands he calls a reraise with, and what his range is for calling the flop bet.

Yeah the A doesnt help you any, but it might make him feel better with QQ/JJ.

If he can call preflop with SCs, and can call the flop with 78s or JQs and so on, then you play good.

If he only continues postflop with AK+, then check/fold the turn is the way to go (much as it hurts).

One thing though - I make a bigger preflop raise (not that it matters a whole lot, but there you go).

35 seems nice to me.

at the time of this hand I was only playing with him for twenty mins or so...
Once he calls my flop bet I am beat. But check folding that turn, it just seems bizarre. BUT correct against this guy..
I played the turn on auto..awful. But (in my defence) I had no read(no ace hud neither)

BTW..against another random player who has a much wider range...Would It be better to check raise turn???

I agree. This is why I like to check the turn here. The second ace doesn't improve our hand much but it does give him the illusion of improving some of his range (QQ/JJ/any T/pure bluff). Granted this is a small part of his range, but by betting the turn we deny ourselves value from this small part.

Most likely we are getting AI here anyway, but I feel a c/c turn, c/c river line gets the most value from the hands we can beat.
