    Default [2nl] AQo facing c/r on flop

    Villain is 15/0 over 29 hands. My only read was that he has called c-bets and pot-sized turn bets with top pair, mediocre kicker.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (7 handed) - PokerStars Converter Tool from http://www.flopturnriver.com/

    Hero (Button) ($2)
    SB ($2.01)
    BB ($1.17)
    UTG ($2)
    MP1 ($2.15)
    MP2 ($1.93)
    CO ($2.02)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with Q, A
    4 folds, Hero raises to $0.06, 1 fold, BB calls $0.04

    Flop: ($0.13) 10, 9, 9 (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $0.10, BB raises to $0.20, Hero ?


    I'm struggling to form villain's ranges in this hand.

    Pre-Flop
    I raise standard amount. Villain plays fairly tightly. I'm not sure if he's positionally aware, but I think a PF range of 77+,ATs+,KTs+,QTs+,JTs,ATo+,KTo+,QTo+,JTo is reasonable.


    Flop
    Here's where I'm drawing a blank. There are lots of hands in his PF range that might elicit a c/r - it's not unusual for microstakes players to c/r with 2 pair. As a result, I'm struggling to work out how his range changes. Unless of course the PF range I put him on is terrible.

    Thoughts?

    Fold.

    Passive villain has just raised you and you have A high.

    I'd prob cbet 0.08 or so.

    As played, yah fold. You can also check back and call a turn. The flop is drawy heavy so you're likely to get raised often.

    As he is calling a lot of C-bets, and in this hand raising it, I would fold. As he is in BB his range gets even bigger. Many players just call the extra $0,04 in the BB on that stake

    Thanks guys, your logic makes sense.

    flop is a fairly simple check with so few good turns to barrel and with strong showdown value in AQ. You also keep in his dominated Ax/Qx hands so there're some implied odds there.
