AA-77
66
33
AK
KQ-K9 (suited and unsuited)
AQ-A9??

I check/fold the turn unless I think he sucks.

AA-JJ, 66, 33, AK, KQ-KJ, 54

66/33, KT+, 54, AK, TT-QQ in order of likelyhood, I´m not sure if 54>KT+ or vice versa


I go with b/f turn and am curious why Fnord said c/f turn

K9+, sets, QQ-99 (less likely), AA (even less likely), 54.

I'd probably have bet like 18 on flop, but now we've been called by a 70bb stack there's only about 2/3 pot behind on the turn so we can't b/f. I'm not entirely comfortable stacking off for 70bbs here so I guess we have to c/f turn, bet river for value if turn checks through.

edit: since he has 70bb I tend to assume he's probably fishy so you can put more stuff like A6 or something in that range.

If we bet the turn we're all-in.

His call on the flop isn't indicating weakness because he doesn't need to raise to build the pot and there are players remaining to act. Actually, I think we're in better shape against some raise ranges.

This is either c/f or bet depending on how much equity we think we have here. Against a tight player, we're almost never good. Against a loose player we're usually good.
