AQ - river 2 pairs, but feel gross
 

<font color="blue"> villain is fairly unknown and has only been at the table for 6-7 orbits. seems donkish though becasue he limp/calls a lot PF and has showdown hands like K2s from UTG. has been a passive/stationy so far

im playing TAGish and v aggro, but villain probably just thinks i raise i raise too much PF </font>

bet 7$ on flop. obviously call his raise, i'd reraise dryer flops here.

turn: bet again! but check/call his bet is ok.

river: obviously the queen completes TJ and other draws , but it also helped u out vs a ton of hands. i'd bet 30-50$ here and hope he calls.

Re: AQ - river 2 pairs, but feel gross
 

open shove river completes a perfect hand

Re: AQ - river 2 pairs, but feel gross
 

agree, open shove river

Re: AQ - river 2 pairs, but feel gross
 

probably shove. what a ghey card

Re: AQ - river 2 pairs, but feel gross
 

ok, lets say if river is a blank, then what?

Re: AQ - river 2 pairs, but feel gross
 

If we're not happy putting more money in when the Q hits why are we calling on the turn? We're putting him on JT exclusively? If that's the case we should've reraised earlier or led the turn. I think two pair is a very large part of his range, much larger than with JT. Sets are possible too but whatever,either shove or bet call like 40

Re: AQ - river 2 pairs, but feel gross
 

we're calling because people will bluffraise flops and 2-barrel but will usually never 3-barrel unless we are beat, and on the turn there is still a decent chance we are ahead

ps - there HAS to be a better picture of tina fey out there somewhere in internet land

Re: AQ - river 2 pairs, but feel gross
 

Seems he could have plenty of 2-pair hands that you just sucked out on, bet out.

What is better half pot value or shove? It's around a pot sized bet effective stacks.
