AQo out of position against very loose player
 

The villain in this hand was running at about 90/19/3. I thought about 3 betting but he had been calling 3bets very lightly and I didn't want to inflate the size of the pot since I was out of position. As for the turn check raise, I usually would just bet out here but the villain would very liberally bet when checked to on the turn/river. Any thoughts on the hand? Standard?

I probably check the flop and hope Button will fire at it.

I like the turn checkraise after you bet and get called.

Preflop, a 3-bet is an option, but there's something to be said for letting the LAG keep control of the hand, especially when you're OOP. You'll frequently end up folding the best hand when you miss, but you'll tend to win big pots while he'll tend to win small ones.

nh. i guess another line would be to let him run his retarded 3 street bluff and c/r river ai.

I like the line you took. It looks like you're donk betting him and then giving up on turn when you check to him.

I'd still 3-bet because AQ is autoraise but calling is fine too. Postflop is perfect, nice hand.
