I'm still learning what this no limit hold em thing is all about.

The 2k tables are a good place to start learning. 5k tables are obv better cuz they respect your raises more.

The size of his flop bet convinced me he was continuing timidly with QQ or KK precisely

With such a dry flop, a lot of people bet smaller to avoid scaring people away with their AQ+/AA with the deck somewhat crippled and hard to extract money if they bet large.

Hey guys, thanks in general for the advice. Looking at this the morning afterwards and I definitely think it's a spew of sorts on my behalf.

As for the reason I was sitting at this particular 2000 NL table... I had the opportunity to sit directly to the left of a player whom I know is very very bad, loose and aggressive specifically. This was just one of those weird hands where I got involved with one of the other good and tricky players at the table.

I think when players are playing a scared KK or QQ on an A-high board, they do the exact opposite: they bet bigger than usual, with the thought of pushing the opponent of a weak ace in mind. Although this is not to good of an idea, many players tend to do so.

If ur very sure that he has KK or QQ though, just float him and take the pot away from him on the turn.
