goal: make him fold a pair. (!)
All I really have on this guy is that he hasn't been getting out of line. He isn't one of the big time regs, but I recognize the name and he might be multi-tabling. If memory serves me right (it usually does), I don't think I had really done much that was noteworthy yet and I possibly may have not been there for very long.
Anyway, given that he calls my UTG raise and then pops me for the minimum on the flop, I think a mid pair or a flush draw is a big part of his range, favoring the mid pair IMO. If he has a flush draw, AWESOME. AQ high = goot. Of course he could have something that absolutely crushes us, but whatever. It's only one stack, and we have to work with what we've got!
ummmm, thoughts? I cover him by $50, if it matters.
ps, whether or not I would push TT or KK or AA or 33 or an A-high flush draw is probably not very important, it's what he thinks that my range is. For whatever it's worth, I'd be thrilled to push more hands then most people in this spot, probably, all of which probably have more equity then AQ high, no draw. The distinction between A high and AQ high though is quite important though, given that he could have an A high flush draw with a worse kicker pretty easily in this spot. edit: also, I want my kicker to be live if he has a pair, duh. Backdoor 3rd nut flush draw is pretty cool as well.
