Does he really have a King? (aka...God hates Aces)

What's everyone's problem with his 6xbb raise. If he always opens for that amount it doesn't give away any information.

Re the hand- I had pretty the same hand the other night. Many will often call down all the way to the river with another pocket pair.

I'm likely to flip a coin on the turn. Either check call or bet again. A lot of players don't believe you on the flop but might on the turn.

Why is the PF raise so big? I think the flop bet should be atleast 10, but that's not uber important. As played, this is WA/WB, and if your description of villian is correct, I would c/c turn for sure and likely c/c river if the bet is less than 2/3 pot. I do not like a river block against this type of player. Try and get to showdown here.

I check this flop a lot for pot control OOP, its WA/WB stuff.

So it is a check call for me on the flop.

Assuming it goes check/check, then its $10 on the turn to see what happens.

I think a flop check here is bad. Especially vs a villain willing to take a shot at you, your basically telling him you didn't like the flop. I Bet a bit more on flop, check/call turn, 2/3rd PSB on river is my standard line here. Villains almost never fold QQ-88 here.

So do most people like c/c turn b/f river with river bet about 1/2 pot?

[goldtoes]

I personally would check the turn and if he bets, call. and if he doesn't bet i would lead out the river with about 2/3 the pot because at this point i'm sure i have the best of it.

[aces_dad]

Sure but he's prolly not calling this flop to check behind on the turn.

Hence if turn goes c/c what is best river action? b/f? c/c?

Explain how it is bad for my villain to think that I don't like the flop, and to take shots at me without a K.

if ur ready to fold ur AA to aggression

I just don't see what checking the flop accomplishes here. We likely have the best hand, were betting here for value. Plenty of worse hands will call. This isn't a WA/WB situation.
