8/16 live, AQs
 

Villain has been fairly aggressive. He might be LAG, but I'm not sure yet. Could just be on a rush. Really annoying since it seemed like a lot of players so far would join the table, play a bit loose, then tighten up as the game went on.

I raise A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in MP
Villain 3 bets out of the big blind, and I call.

Heads up flop: A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Bet, call.

turn: K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Bet, call.

river: J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Bet, I fold.

Meh? I was planning to call down, although J on river is like, ugh.

Gonna have to explain your flop/turn play please. Why you're not raising it is beyond me. Only reason not to raise flop is to pop the turn, why don't you?

Re: 8/16 live, AQs
 

I would call just simply to look him up.

I don't think the river decision is the problem w/ this hand. That it got to the river w/o a raise is.

Call and see 99.

Cap preflop usually. Raise the flop if you don't cap preflop. Value bet the whole way after you raise the flop. Get called down by 22. I have no idea why you folded the river. I don't see what excludes AQ, AT, A9, and other miscellaneous crap from his range.

Re: 8/16 live, AQs
 

ugh, why on earth would you fold the river?

Re: 8/16 live, AQs
 

this is pretty ridiculous....

waiting for the river to raise is ok. waiting for the river to fold?

you gotta have solid reads live and i can see it happening, but if you have solid reads then please provide them

Re: 8/16 live, AQs
 

That fold on the river is like, ugh. Pay off.
You chop with other AQ
You beat A-10 and A9, KQ, KT, TT, 99, etc
These are all hands that LAGs may 3bet.

Live games are so much different then online games. This would be a clear flop raise online but I'm playing it much more carefully live where a 3-bet basically always = AA and in some cases a 2-bet = AA.
