NL50, 3betting AQ from the blinds, bad line?

[hra146]

Guy had fairly TAGgy stats so I figured 3bet>fold>call preflop. Once he called and the dry A-hi board hits I was a little clueless.

His pf calling range is relatively small I imagine. JJ+,AQs+.

Cbetting this flop will possibly get a call from his entire range. He might float me with all pairs, slowplay his AA and maybe too scared to raise AK in a WA/WB situation.

So I check planning to call any bet. I do that and Im quite lost on the turn. Fold or Shove?

bet flop for sure imo. Top pair GK in a 3b pot.

1. Don't like the 3 bet if you actually think his range is that tight.

2. I don't think anybody's range is that tight

3. Super easy shove. It is an ace high flop in a rr pot and luckily you have one.

Given stack sizes, pot size and flop texture, I'm ready to play for stacks... PF is fine IMO, however I do bet out on this flop.

[hra146]

I meant once he called the 3bet his range is relatively tight (most peoples range is, I guess).

Betting this flop while getting a call from all of his range is ofcourse profitable, however, I will be giving up any potcontrol. If I bet this flop and he calls, I will have to bet the turn and be committed to call an AI raise. If I bet the flop and he calls and I check the turn I will have no clue where I stand when he fires.

.,.,m.,.. I think Im overthinking this. Bet flop, CR turn or something.

blaehh

If his PF 3-bet calling range is JJ+, AQs+ 3-betting with AQ seems bad to me.

I know. I find it hard to believe anybody's calling range is that tight.

[derosnec]

you can bet or check that flop. doesn't really matter much either way.

[Upgrade_U]

nevermind

[VPIP100]

Check/calling every street and check/folding river with a strong read is fine.

If this really concerns you then you shouldn't be 3betting AQ preflop. Pot control goes out of the window in 3 bet pots.

bet flop

Lead the flop, you have the 2nd nuts for pete sake! A very small % of his range is raising, a large % is calling (Ax, 99-KK) and only a little is folding. No real point in checking to induce a bluff if you're not sure if you're going to call it.

If the turn bricks and is dry, then checking the turn and firing river if he checks back is probably the line I'd take.
