10/20 NFD Spikes Ace on Turn

[Equal]

Villain is a good winning regular that has occasional spewtastic tendencies. He seems to be more aggro this session, but usually when he fires 3-barrels he has a hand that warrants it.

I don't think I ever flat the flop here, just doesn't really fit in with my game.

I agree, I dont often call in position but this time I chose to.

[rsxpunk]

granted I dont play this high, but here are my thoughts. This looks really close to me because you don't beat like anything, but your hands looks like exactly a draw so it seems likely villain could third barrel here.

Assuming he usually plays AJ-AK like this (capable of semi think vbets) then I think it's a fold.

me neither, and I think I would call river given the info but id want to see the exact hand timing.

[oldfashiond]

does any one like a turn raise for a cheaper showdown when behind to better ace/ value when ahead?

[Kirkrrr]

I think this one is totally read dependent. On the surface it's a fold, but if he's been playing aggro and you like to float etc etc than you could make a case for calling... without knowing any of your guys' prior history and game flow it's a fold.

I think that raising the flop would have made this hand alot easier to play. What was your reasoning for flat calling the turn? I usually will put in a raise in this spot b/c i feel a good player can lay down alot of better aces when it looks like we hit two-pair or slow played a set.
