I'm not a big fan. You fold to a 3 bet? He could easily 3 bet AKs there.

You are also likely drawing to 2 outs.

Turn raise is too much IMO after that flop action.

[imitation]

i just call the turn.

I cap preflop every time, but I don't play this high. I don't really see the reason for raising the turn. You may have underrepresented your hand, but against his range I don't think you have the equity you need.

I almost never cap preflop with AA's in this spot.

AJ/AA/QQ/AJ, KQ sometimes, AK sometimes (pretty much always on those two if they are spades). sometimes nut spade draw or TT/88 will continue the charade on this particular turn card. i'm losing to KK/JJ/99/77 and that's about it?

fwiw if I had capped pf I wouldnt raise the turn.

this depends a ton on my image, if people think I'm out of line I think it's a crime not to cap.

also, do you almost never cap anything here? or are you capping cooler stuff like T8s??

Does everyone autocap the flop? How about calling the flop threebet and delivering a turn raise on a non scare card?
Turn bet is more likely a "don't give the free card to a flush draw" or v-bet play than a semibluff and with the king appearing I don't think you are ahead of 2/3 of his range. IE he doesn't have AKs here often enough to warrant a raise.

I dont play this high so maybe the games play differently, but after you cap the flop and he still donks the turn I give much more weight to JJ 99 77 KK than a hand like AJ. Even if you add in K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] AJ QQ AA with equal weight, intuitively I dont think you are a big enough favorite vs his range to raise and open yourself up to a 3 bet which you cant fold to vs an unknown.
