Default Re: .1/.25 trips turns into AQ high

[ QUOTE ]
Bet turn 3/4 pot at least. Giving him a free card is bad here imo.

As played fold, he has a high pocket pair almost always when calling raise PF in SB.

I actually prefer to check this sort of turn. Your flop could very easily be a feeler bet here, and if you check the turn, it tends to give the impression that you have either missed completely or are on the str8 draw. Then, given a blank (non3) turn you can a lot of times get a value bet in with lower trips against some mid to high pocket or snap call a bad bluff from a missed str8 draw, etc... As it turned out, it's hard spot to be in given the river, but it is just usually a chance that I am willing to take.

As for the SB usually having a high pocket when they call a a raise, I'm really not sure where you base this assumption off of, but I don't really agree. I think SB's range is very wide. I would just call here and see what kind of hand they are playing this way.. I think that AQ high will be good a surprising amount of the time here.
