I think Villain is solid regular (AA_MILO) but not sure. He is at 2-3 of my tables and has played pretty good so far. I have been pretty tight showing down a missed draw other then that no history.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $20 BB (5 handed) internettexasholdem.com

BB ($2411)
UTG ($146)
MP ($2000)
Hero ($2030)
SB ($2017)

Preflop: Hero is Button with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
2 folds, Hero raises to $70, 1 fold, BB calls $50.

Flop: ($150) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB bets $140, Hero raises to $420, BB calls $280.

Turn: ($990) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks.

River: ($990) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB bets $40, Hero folds.

Final Pot: $1030

On flop do you like a raise or call better? If turn does not pair the board do you think its better to take a free card or fire a bet out?

I strongly doubt it, more along the lines of Ax

why would a solid reg bet 40 into like a 1k pot with Ax there?

to block vs a raise and maybe his AQ got counterfeited he realised any ace is splitting because of the Q kicker...?
I doubt he's betting 40 for value?

combo draw = jammy whammy that bad boy

river bet is beyond bizzare. maybe it was supposed to be 400, misclick?

just call flop, if he's leading into you that strong its probably not with a hand he intends to fold. you can always bet the turn when checked to and steal it that way, or perhaps even shove the turn if you're feeling loco.

Did you really fold river?
