Check/call, because the only other option is bet/fold. I'd rather show down if it's going to cost me the same.

I also think he'll bluff a lot.

Re: And so we continue...
 

I would still bet and call a raise. A 44/19/1.25 player would often (though not always) have done *something* on the flop or turn with oesd. He also would bluff-raise the river some of the times.

Meh. You would have to explain to me what those numbers mean. I'm still allergic to paying two bets to show down on that board.

I don't know what they mean EXACTLY, but I know they mean he's GENERALLY not passive. Generally.

I don't think the only option is folding after he raises the river. Another option is to call. His stats can't tell me exactly what he's gonna do here, but they sway me in making a call a very viable option after he raises.

Then you have to let him. Edit: let him bluff raise.

Checking looks suspicious and might result in the flop checking through.

Why is that a bad thing? Especially if we agree on the principles that, A) neither opponent is ever folding a better hand than your AQ, and, 2) that neither opponent is ever folding a halfway decent draw. And by "halfway decent" I'm including things like gutshots or 2 good overs.

As far as the turn goes, obviously bet, especially since you led the flop &amp; nobody played back at you.

I like bet/call on the river, although I could easily be convinced to bet/fold if BB raises. I think that BB calls 1 bet with more hands you beat than he overcalls with, and I doubt that BTN is folding any pair or even a weaker ace.

We are heads up on the river with Btn, Harv.

I like a b/c. Btn would have popped that flop with a 7.

My bad, that'll teach me to try answering from memory. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Yeah, I like bet/call based on the opponent.
