AA Paired Board against a Tag - Linecheck
 

Just double-checking this one - I think my line is ok but would like confirmation. Villian is a fairly bad Tagfish who is playing a little loose since he has a big stack. History - just a couple of hands ago he busted me with set-over-set on the flop so he may think I'm tilted. I almost insta 3-bet him preflop. Standard?

I don't like your line at all personally. But, as played you should either just fold or push his river bet. You need to dbl barrel these turns when they are blanks. If he c/r's you on the turn you are almost always felting AA here. No reason to practice pot control or played it like you did.

Bet 1/2 pot on turn and call shove. If he just calls then shove any river

Why do I need to bet the turn?

value. Also gives future double barrels street cred.

I don't think we should worry too much about game-balancing against this guy - and I thought it would be easier for him to call a river bet with a PP. Plus it might induce a bluff on the river. I'm not sure why all those who responded so far think it's clearly right to bet the turn.

You mentioned that he was playing loose and think you might be tilting, so that makes me want to be it more.

I don't think check turn and bet river is a clearly inferior line though.

Betting the turn and folding to a raise or pushing makes it much easier to play does it not?

There is no way I am folding no matter what I do in this hand.

With $68 effective, we are basically commited with any turn bet, no?
