Default Re: NL 25 - AQs on all streets

***Preflop: You have a good hand and position so reraise is fine.
***Flop: He "checks to the raiser", expecting you to bet pretty much any hand. Like a previous poster says, your monster is disguised so you should bet here and hope he caught a bit of the board or has a draw and will chase. If he has absolutely nothing and folds then that's poker, you wouldn't have made anything anyway. If he has hit some unlikely hand like 2- pair, a set or a straight you lose loads of value by not betting.
***Turn: Again you have missed value. Why not make your initial turn bet 2/3 or full pot? He check-raised you so basically he is saying he turned a straight. If he is bluffing he will fold to any raise unless he is stupid. If he has a big hand then you have him by the short and curlies. For this reason I think you should reraise all in on the turn, unless you think he is the type to try an all-in 2nd bluff on the river (representing a straight which beats your assumed bigh pair). If you think he will try that then just call on the turn.
