AQ, against LAG HU
 

Hey all

Played this hand on a 6max table with only 2 of us left of an initial 4. Villain was loose when there were 3 or 4 or us and we have just gone to heads up. His stats at the time were something like 55/20/2 over 70ish hands.

My play to flop is standard I guess. On the turn I felt I was likely ahead and wanted to give him a chance to bluff. Without any real reads ... (I havent seen him do anything radical) .. is a call on the river +EV?

I have a good feeling you'll find a better spot than this to get money in.. you can call for info but it's very thin.

Think its reasonable to fold here, he could have 22, 66-QQ and got the full house. Maybe 33.

Could also be vbetting very light with 67 or something... I'd like to at least have a pair against a guy we only have no read on.

Trivial fold given the low probability of him calling the flop and checking the turn without showdown value to bluff the river.

Agree with this. Hands w/o showdon value bet the turn most of the time.

i dont understand why you would call here. how can A high be good?

He has a boat, fold.

Re: AQ, against LAG HU
 

either c/f or b/f turn.. (c/f turn translates into c/f river UI)

I think I call here but I call too much and care too little. There can not be a general answer, it depends on the villain's IQ and some other factors.

About bet/folding on any street: Is it a bluff or a valuebet? I think its closer to a super thin (and bad) valuebet, everything better calls and some worse aces might call too. Check is the correct play on turn and the river, wheter to fold or call is the real question.
