No. What should call you? The board is absolutely drawless. A TAG has always a set here. Against anyone else you could just call his reraise.

Looks like the worst hand that is raising you here is AQ. If you figure him for AQ then why get it in now? The board is pretty safe looking so I probably CRAI on the turn, if reads say that AQ is a big part of his range.

QQ and 99 look like possible holdings here too.
I need work on playing overcards to heat on flops like this myself so I'm interested in what everyone has to say.

Your flop raise looks kind of big... How come? I dunno if this is a good idea. You want action on your kings.

readless I'd say it's pretty meh. Not a lot of worse hands call. You are probably ahead though. I would call and lead turn for about 2/3 pot and prolly fold to a raise.

This is quite read dependent however - does he stack off with &lt; AQ?

Absent a read I call the flop raise and CRAI the turn..I prefer a bet/fold turn line but stacks are not deep enough..A bet on the turn will leave you pot stuck and there going in anyway so let him think his Q is good...I think a turn CRAI will maximize your win while losing the same(losing your stack either way)...

Good point. I don't really checkraise much, but this seems like a good spot.

I didn't have any reads, this was my first hand in this table.
Thank you all for the help, I'm working on the spots you mentioned.
