Standard AA line check OOP vs. 20/11; 50NL

[GiantBuddha]

So I suck in these rather common spots, and I'd like to fix that. You know, a good one pair hand out of position against someone besides a calling station.

Villain is 20/11/1.5 over 1200 hands, and he's cold called over 2% of his hands, which is a lot.

1) Do I need to bet more on the flop, or is 3/4 pot okay on this dry board?

2) Is CRAI on the turn spewy or good?

Based on the stack sizes and against this particular opponent, I don't think you're not going to get called often enough by a worse hand with your turn check-raise. Call the turn, keep the pot under control and re-evaluate river although check-call most reasonably sized bets is probably my default line.

[Split Suit]

pretty spewwy turn CRAI. that K shud b all over ur range, and u CRAI on that card pretty much tells anyone that can even slightly think that u have KQ+. i really think u only get called by better hands here, and pretty much never by anything u beat (and a butt-ton beats u).

i probably c/c, c/c (reasonable bet). unless the river pairs the 5...then i probably lead it

(also...plz check ur posts b4 u finalize them. this is the 2nd one at least that has come thru lookin rly rly bad. just makes it harder to read)

Thanks for the hand advice. I always preview my posts, though. What in particular do you find objectionable?

I think turn C/R is pretty awful on this board.

He's not going to call you with worse very often at all. He's not going to have K-x much, unless he made two pair, but that's bad for you.

Either bet/fold or check/call. Check/raise just folds out worse hands and loses the maximum vs a better hand.

Wow. I need to get some sleep. Sorry about that. I guess I was seeing double and didn't even realize that was odd.

i would bet again on turn 1/2 pot and fold to Raise

if he calls i will see wat the river drops and re-evaluate
