Value-bluff?

Turn is definitely a check...and I probably fold a blank river. You really beat nothing.

Except QQ, KK, Ax, etc, you mean, right?

What's your point? Tons of players will call the turn with all of them.

I was referring to "You beat nothing" comment, which, frankly, is just [censored] absurd. Dunno what games you play in but most 200nl players don't 3-bet just AK and AA.

My "you beat nothing" comment was referring to if/when villain bets the river after hero checks the turn.

This hand is the perfect example of why AQ sucks when you get re-popped.
I guess the analysis that most matters is: what do you thing the range of hands are that he popped you pre-flop with? With no read, I assume its pretty narrow.

He then proceeds to bet out big. This, of course means something but could very well be any random pair attempting to represent the A, and then will shut down if you call.

Again, that's why AQ sucks in a big hand, and is much better suited for hands where no one expressed big pre flop agression. Her big brother AK is always lurking in big hands.

without a read, I fold preflop. With a read on villian as an aggro monkey , a doofus, or a little Ace guy, play it just the way you did.
