    Default AQ hand from NL$100

    This hand is against a loose/passive/aggressive player (~45/5/2.5). Since moving up I find these situations occur alot more frequently than at $50 or below and I'm never sure what to do. I open raised on the button the hand before and took the blinds and have a TAG image. What's the play and plan for future streets?

    Button ($138.05)
    SB ($96)
    BB ($98.10)
    UTG ($99)
    UTG+1 ($37.80)

    Preflop: Hero is CO with , .
    4 folds, Hero raises to $4, 2 folds, BB calls $3.

    This is mostly Qx or total air, maybe some weird combo draws.

    Raise to 28 and make him define his hand, fold to shove and slow down if called.

    Add Ax of diamonds to it and maybe a set.

    anyone else like a call and see what happens on the turn?
    Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information.

    I usually end up doing this and calling down (noting what he has for future ref). But sometimes I just raise/call against these lagtards.

    Looks fine to me against these stats; don't instacall though, it will give away your strategy. Change his preflop stats to sethunters in the approx. 9-15/5/2-3 VPIP range and it is a bet/fold on the flop as played or a check fold on the turn to a flop call.

    My absolute biggest leak in NL vs. Limit that I am working on is hitting TPTK to a set hunter that I am almost certain hit his set, but I continue to check/call or push like a moron.

    3betting flop is bad. We don't wanna felt/commit this vs a 5 pfr 2.5 af. I probably play every street the same since he's not that great at valuing. Looks like KJ got there.
