Re: AQ turn play
 

i still 3bet this guy

jsut call as played

Re: AQ turn play
 

I think his range here is QJ+... while the T is in his range so are hands like A9 and AJ, i raise here

Re: AQ turn play
 

I like to spew a lot, but I think I just call here.

Re: AQ turn play
 

I'd fold preflop, he's raising from the SB after an UTG limper. I think his range has AQ crushed. As played I'd just call. Maybe minraise for a free showdown or something silly that would work.

Re: AQ turn play
 

raising this seems horrible here.

Re: AQ turn play
 

I'd keep the pot small, just call and conceal strengh somewhat. If river is another spade give up otherwise id just c/c the river

Re: AQ turn play
 

Raise to $25, check most rivers.

Re: AQ turn play
 

i would also 3bet pre i think...push UTG out...then have position

as played...probably just call to keep pot small with aim at getting to showdown cheaply as possible...reevaluate after player behind has acted and then on river...i think your behind though..can fold to river bet

i dont think raising is option on thsi board with player behind you...

Another impt factor i think is that SB is betting into 2 players on this board...either hes an idiot or he has a made hand.

Re: AQ turn play
 

Raise this pre-flop. Makes the hand much easier to play.

As played, call and fold if UTG raises. If UTG calls, then I think an unimproved river is a check fold.

Re: AQ turn play
 

default to a norm bet is call. since he bet so small you may have to raise.

How does having UTG left to act factor into your thinking? I think raising is a much easier line when the pot is HU.

Re: AQ turn play
 

don't want utg to overcall getting incredible odds w/ QJ/J9/random spade hand, and he likely does not have us beat right now. if anything maybe we should be more likely to raise here since we almost always get free showdown and we'll find out immediately if either one of them has us beat

turns it more into a raise. he limp called pf. he didnt bet the flop. he is a non factor, except if you call 10, suddenly that dude can overcall correctly with alot of stuff

Re: AQ turn play
 

Yeah... You cant let UTG in for such a good price, I guess you have to raise.

Re: AQ turn play
 

after reading the other posts...i initially liked the idea of the raise for the reasons mythrilfox said...but

that makes sense if we have a relatively strong hand or we are confident that SB has AK or is bluffing on some level (the only situations in which SB is folding to a raise)...but i think on this board, its dangerous to raise with such a marginal hand...putting UTG out of picture for a minute...we are still likely to be behind SB anyway...we only beating his AJ,A9,A8 etc

I cant see how we can be raising here for value...

Raising is a waste of money...what worse hands are calling??? were gonna get called/raised by better hands only...we are either a long way behind here or only very marginally infront...dont you think???

i would be waiting for a better spot.

tbh, I don't think it's a terrible idea in hero's spot.

Hmmm. Doesn't commit stacks, gets value from a worse A and allows for a fold on a horrific river.......

This is by far the best advice in this post.

what does minraising do?
