Re: 100NL AQ turned TPGK
First of all I don't think reraising with AQ in the BB is such a good idea if you're not sure that villain will call your reraise with a wide range that comprises smaller Ax and underpairs. If not you've basically turned a good hand into a bluff. If the original raiser has a tight calling range for 3-bet I'd rather reraise him with weaker hands (sc, smaller pairs) that I can't just call with.
Now that he has called you, you will have to play a big pot OOP with a potentially dominated hand... As played, C-betting the flop is fine, if you think his range is fairly wide but reads are critical imo for that kind of play. When he calls the flop bet, crai on the turn seems the best play but you've put yourself in a tough spot. |

Re: 100NL AQ turned TPGK
pf reraise is good imo.
if you just call, you end up folding most flops with the best hand. i c/c or c/f depending on much he bets on the turn (the line being maybe around half pot), but i actually expect him to check behind a good percentage of the time. |

Re: 100NL AQ turned TPGK
I like it as played, and now on the turn I like to check it and hope he bets. Reasoning is that I dont think he will call a 2nd barell on a scarey turn with a worse hand but will take stabs at it with more. Moreover when we check the turn we look weaker if he checks behind and we bet the river.

Re: 100NL AQ turned TPGK
Everybody seems to think preflop is good. Could someone explain why? I usually 3-bet AQ in that spot but I am starting to reevaluate that play.
I feel that in order for a 3bet to be more ev than a call villain calling range has to be somewhat large. If not he will call with a better hand and you will play a big pot OOP. That can't be good right? Plus, 3-betting makes him fold his dominated Ax which is not good for us. |

[/ QUOTE ] i believe there is more value in taking it down pf + taking it down with a c-bet + winning a pot just cause you have best hand compared to getting value only those times you hit and are good. But i'd love to hear the opinion of better players on this! |

Re: 100NL AQ turned TPGK
I didn't notice that you were in the BB, my apologies. Your raise is more justified. Check pushing is your best bet. If your calling a big river bet anyway it might bet some better two pair to fold. CHECK POOOSH.
