Is this standard, good/bad?

Re: AQo, how is this hand?
 

Probably standard IMO. Not sure what else you could do on turn/river &amp; firing on the flop is fine IMO.

Re: AQo, how is this hand?
 

I would chk flop for many reasons , once you bet it i would defo check turn for pot control,now that he called you on flop and turn its close on river


Your pretty much only beating a bluff, if im playin well id fold but i can imagine callin here alot

Re: AQo, how is this hand?
 

I think C betting flop is std. Bet 300 on the turn instead of 200. River you must call.

Re: AQo, how is this hand?
 

Flop c-bet is good.

What's worng with checking the turn? You probably get a lot of bets on the river then with hands you beat.

Re: AQo, how is this hand?
 

I check flop here say 80% of the time with pretty much all my range , just to prevent bluff reraises from good players/disguise hand...is this thinking wrong

But if i had bet the flop (with A high) against weaker players i will check the turn (when A hits) again about 80% of the time

What hands do put SB on he plays this way Bond? We can prob beat more than bluffs but his line (the SB's) seems v strong


EDIT: to say if the flop was 443 I would c/b 100% of the time

Re: AQo, how is this hand?
 

I just call with AQo preflop.

In this case i male no contibet, because i will not play a big pot with 10/20 Blinds, on the Turn i bet 1/2 Pot, and the river is a check behind, i think no better hand will fold and no worser will call, mayba AJ, but i am willing to play a small pot with this marginal hand.
