LHE: Monster flop for AQs, how would you play it?

    Default LHE: Monster flop for AQs, how would you play it?

    Mixed feelings on how I played this one...
    edit: Actually, the only street I like is the river...

    Neither other player has really gotten out of line. Rough guess is tight/passive.

    I read it wrong so I am editing.***

    Preflop: Consider folding for fear of being dominated by AK or a big pocket pair. It would depend on the read I had on my opponents. If I do make the call then I play it a little different.

    Flop: I bet and then just call the raise.

    Turn: I check/raise

    River: I bet right out and and re-raise if he happens to raise.

    You mean pre-flop with a raise + re-raise from two players that haven't yet gotten out of line? I think the cold call is either bad or close, and I muck AQo here.

    Also, how often do you think I'm even ahead on the flop?

    I edited because I read it wrong. I thought the call was on the flop. It was preflop.

    I play it exactly as you had. Including the 3bet on the flop.

    try to check-raise the turn? Probably wouldn't work after the 3-bet..

    Why don't you like the flop play? PF wasn't capped so AA/KK probably isn't a factor... would AK cap?

    What do you think you would have changed?

    MP1 shows down KK. Passive git...

    In retrospect, since he didn't 3-bet or cap pre-flop, Axs/AT/AJ are viable hands.

    I just can't help but thinking that I missed a bet somewhere here...

    Not sure why you don't like your play here I play it the same.

    I do not 3 bet the flop, because then I can't check raise the turn. I like the river also.

    I think on-line, without specific knowledge that the players in question are solid, I will almost always cold call with this hand. I think I may be wrong.
