    very drawy board, but this is player dependent, does this player play draws like this?

    Problem is I didn't have much of a read. Villain has played pretty "standard" all the time, hasn't got out of line and this was also the fist time I had seen him checkraise.

    i cant agree more that at this 1-2 nl level, it's really dependent on your opponent's playing style. if he is LAGG, who likes to raise any drawing hands, just push over all-in right on the flop. Otherwise, i'd flat call, re-evaluate on the turn and fold to his all-in or very huge bet . If checked to, i definitely push all-in and put him in difficult situation
    playing aggressively with AA is the best way to make more money in the long run.

    Sometimes this is a set, sometimes a flush draw, sometimes a combo draw, sometimes AQ. I don't mind pushing here at all. But it's a small raise, HU, you're deep and you have position so I prefer calling and re-evaluating the turn. If it's a spade and he bets, I'm folding, if it's a blank I'm calling or pushing if he bets (usually pushing) and if he checks I'm betting.

    Basically Im thinking im either behind to a two pair or a set or possibly ahead to some kind of drawing hand. However the set's has me crushed while he is at least drawing live, I very much doubt he is doing this with air. I gritted my teeth and folded, but I didn't like it. Afterwards I considered if betting out is my only option here, could it sometimes perhaps be right to check in this spot?

    I think you have to bet this flop 100% of the time.

    Wow tough spot for you. With all the calls pre-flop he could have hit any piece of this board. Its not going to be QQ from the way it went pre flop. Could be AQ, 66, 55, 8s7s, maybe AsKs, As6s?, 4s3s. Your in a tough spot here.

    You have to go on feel here. How do you feel and how has he been playing.

    I think if hes tight I'm either folding or calling and folding if the turn completes a draw.

    Tough hand man what ended up happening?

    I fold here, there's so many PF callers that there are probably more than one villain setmining... the C/R is a common set line. Maybe I'm weak, but I don't see anything we beat playing like that. Why would AQ check as the sb?

    Default My analysis is pretty much the same. Because I hadn't seen

    Yeah my analysis is pretty much the same. Because I hadn't seem him get out of line before and due to the fact that he had been playing reasonably tight I actually folded the hand.
