Re: Simple TPTK hand.
I think in todays games you can eliminate a worse ace from villain's range close to 90% of the time
So that said, I prob fold the turn. People tend to take these lines to throw up a flag and cause the player with AQ to feel awkward and sense that something isnt up so they can stack off.
Because I mean, think about it.... if villain checkraises and then proceeds to lead 1/2 to 2/3 pot again, I think in villain's eyes thats an even scarier line. So they will say to themselves "How can I get the most from AK/AQ" and promptly decide the best course of action is to play the hand in a manner that is weird (instapot) and betsizing that is weird (pot).
When people do these things (I am guilty of it as well) the idea is for the opponent to see the betting size and timing and have something in the back of their heads say "something is not right here", and hopefully have that lead to "if i think something isnt right, it must mean i'm ahead". when in reality its the other way around.
