--Thoughts--
Firstly, I was just moved to the table and am readless with villain (have never seen him before either).

*FLOP: I obviously hate the flop, but it could very conceivably have hit me so I want to take a shot and rep AK. If I'm raised or called, I’m totally done with it. (If I had a hand with more showdown value (QQ) I would strongly consider checking here but that's another post.)

*TURN: My flop thinking caused me to totally botch this street in my opinion. I basically checked dark in that I hit check before really even noticing the Turn card (b/c after I was called, like I said, I was done with it). I hate hate hate that I checked on the Turn. I put myself in a [censored] spot by showing weakness. He makes this weird overbet shove, and I just hate that I put myself in this spot.

I couldn't really put him on anything that I beat, but again I muddied up the situation by checking the Turn IMO.

wtf do I do?

call. He pushed BECAUSE you checked.

Trust me, I have a great read on him [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

What range are you putting him on? I have just about AQ, JJ, 66, and A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], assuming he is not call-bluffing the flop (a silly play on that board IMHO)

oh yeah, I was overstating in the OP when I said I couldn't put him on ANYTHING that I beat.

all joking aside, this appears to be the classic Pair-With-Draw play. Or maybe two pair.

This would be a really strange way to play a hand that beats yours especially AQ. I would put him on AJ, KJ, KQ or JJ (pushing because he is scared of all the draws). No way I can find a fold here.

Re: TT postflop late in the Stars $320
 
so, did you call or fold, and what happened?

I call.

AK KJ - 2 pr like KT or JT Even - Not AQ

With AQ he wouldn't be scared, and the all in is 80% a scare bet.

In addition if he had anything but KK or JJ and the board pairs, you have a boat to win

I never fold this, but I bet the turn because I hate to see this checked through.

Wait, is there really some question as to what to do on the turn?

Re: TT postflop late in the Stars $320
 
I'll be interested to see the replies, and this is a bigger buy-in than I'm used to, but I call here, in a second. I can think of plenty of hands that I'm beating here and not as many that are beating me and push here to a checked turn.

Re: TT postflop late in the Stars $320
 
I'm also very happy checking the turn.
