Tough Spot with AQ

[Garth Kay]

Depending on your table image benny the cunt; it could be TT+ that 3 bets pre and checks that flop.

If you have been particularly loose aggressive then it could be 55+.

But it's the raise on the turn that gives it all away, it all depends on your image at the time and what type of opponent you are facing.

I don't think this type of opponent, just based on stats over small sample, will ever raise that turn with JJ - KK. I think they would smooth for pot control.

I think you hit a cooler benny the cunt and that's the case A on the flop?? That's the only hand I can see as 3 bet pre, check the flop and then raise the turn. Especially with villains stats.

Check the flop even with two spades?

More likely the spades aren't going to be a factor in this hand.

Not everyone shits their britches when they hit top set and the board is showing a flush draw. You don't always bet to scare away opponents Trishan. Sometimes you want them to catch up. And in this game this is villains thinking:

"Wow, I have hit top set with AA, pity about the flush draw...... Oh well may as well check as I know if he has the flush draw he is calling. Let's hope the turn comes a blank or pairs the board".
"WTF - he's leading into me. He must have an A, now my time to get some chips into the pot! Even when I have the nuts!"

I still wouldn't check the flop I would throw out a weak c bet. I wouldn't raise so much on the turn, I might even flat the turn (but that won't extract max value). I would jam the river if there were any chips left in plat.

Oh and freak???

Oh and freak???

Yeh you have an unbelievable ability to guess the exact hand the villain has...

Ah but when you discuss hand histories you have more time to think about it.

The problem with my game is that I know he's sitting there with AA, or some sick set or str8, yet I still call to see if I am right.

I have to get out of that habit.
