I don't like turn c/r AI. Pretty much kills your showdown value.

I'd fold to the river raise.

Re: NL25: AQ
 

It's either a bluff or something that beats you and I would probably think your beat.

Your underestimating the capacity of NL25 players to make dumb plays.

I would play KJ of spades this way but the rage for manny NL25 player icludes lots of hands that has you beaten. If i seen him bluff att the river befor i migth re-think


Bet the turn and since you have no reads fold.

Re: NL25: AQ
 

I do not like the turn check raise AI, check is fine. Simply bet 3$ on the river, fold to a raise.

Re: NL25: AQ
 

i'd bet around 3 on the turn, and check call river. possible information can be extracted on turn bet, a bit over half pot keeps it in controll if he just calls. check turn and check-call river is also possible. the board seems so dangerous, you're oop, and AQ is not strong at all.

Re: NL25: AQ
 

Preflop, flop and turn are fine. I'd check and call a reasonable river bet, though. Your hand does have some SD value and hands like AxJs/KsQx/JJ and air may see this as their last chance to steal the pot away.

Re: NL25: AQ
 

I've only been playing FR 25NL for a few weeks, but from my limited 9,000 hands experience, random villian has a flush nearly every time. I don't think you can profitabily call here without reads.

Re: NL25: AQ
 

If you are right 1 in 3 times, then call.

Very strange flush line for villain. If I flush on the turn without the ace I am betting 100% of the time in position. I don't know, it is close.

Re: NL25: AQ
 

I would bet/call for $4.75 on the turn. I think the river is probably a fold, but I typically call here in reality with mixed results.
