    Default 200NL: AJo top pair

    Villain 19/12 over 100 and hasn't been seen 3-betting yet.

    $1/$2 No Limit Holdem
    6 players
    Converted at weaktight.com

    Stacks:
    UTG Azimut85 ($686.25)
    UTG+1 Hero ($203.00)
    CO funkeemonkee ($209.00)
    BTN .TilTandWiN. ($200.00)
    SB famou$_$oon ($673.40)
    BB xavieret01 ($386.45)

    Pre-flop: ($3, 6 players) Hero is UTG+1
    1 fold, Hero raises to $6, 1 fold, .TilTandWiN. calls $6, famou$_$oon calls $5, 1 fold

    Flop: ($20, 3 players)
    famou$_$oon checks, Hero bets $14, .TilTandWiN. calls $14, famou$_$oon folds

    Turn: ($48, 2 players)
    Hero bets $26, .TilTandWiN. calls $26

    River: ($100, 2 players)
    Hero checks, [color=#cc0000].TilTandWiN. bets $64 Hero .?


    Seems like there aren't enough busted draws in his range to justify a call and he's never got a worse ace so...ez fold?

    Thoughts on the turn bet / sizing?

    Whole hand looks fine to me, now fold.
    "This sure beats Super Mario Bros.!" is my ejaculation catch phrase.

    I don't expect people to float in 3 way pots, so we have to bet this turn to get value from weaker aces and draws.

    Villain being 19/12 I'd fold expecting him to show up with AQ/AK or 2p. You beat 2 aces that would check behind, and busted flush draws... so the question is, how often is a 19/12 player flatting a flush draw for 2 streets and then bluffing the river when they whiff? Almost none, almost never. I fold

    shove.. he'll prolly fold AQ
    Nine to five is how to survive - I ain't trying to survive / I'm trying to live it to the limit and love it a lot //

    Can offer RB deals on most sites, PM me.

    so you think he doesn't have much Ax range OTB?

    I wouldn't mind seeing a aggression factor before I c/f here. Cause I think I always would call here if I checked. Usually its a bet though for me.

    He almost always has A-Q or some slow-played hand, but usually A-Q. Check-shoving may actually be best here, but I would probably just chicken out and check-fold.

    Can you explain? I'd be too worried about Ax range hitting 2p, he is OTB

    He's playing 19/12.... Therefore A9/A8/A6 are not in his flatting range.

    Sure maybe you could say they are, but if they are its a small fraction of the time.

    This added to the fact that your opponent is making a bet that looks like thin value.

    Only question you end up asking yourself is, is villain bad enough to just be retarded and call off AQ anyways? I know I shove here and they call occasionally w/ it.
