AQ against scary board
Villain is loose, passivish. I checked behind on the turn because I feared a check-raise. I thought that a CR on the river, having not done one on the turn, was just too cute so I bet for value, putting villain on a Q or middle pair most times. Would welcome thoughts on all streets.

Re: AQ against scary board
I don't like giving him the free card on the turn. Don't be afraid of the flush here.

Re: AQ against scary board
I'd say you can safely bet on the turn. Even against an extremely passive opponent, with a made flush they would definitely give it away with aggressive betting on all the streets.
Bet away, you have a strong hand. You can't always see a monster. |

Re: AQ against scary board
If villain is loose passive I really don't think you have to worry about a c/r too much, and even if he does I think you could fold without thinking twice about it.

Re: AQ against scary board
Bet the turn.
Villan likely has a lone club, a weak Q or some other crap when he bets then just calls our flop raise. Checking the turn is HORRIBLE. Checking the turn just gives villan a free shot at beating us when we are ahead (which is likely most of the time). Being afraid of a possible c/r is MUBS and no reason for us to check the turn. We MUST charge people to draw out on us!! edit: pesky double-negative [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] |

Re: AQ against scary board
You played it backwards. I would call the flop and then raise the turn. As played I would certianly bet the turn.

I thought my flop raise would fold CO with a single small club or some other weaker draw. Why just call? Thanks to you and others for kicking my arse over the turn. I felt it was weak when the hand was over. |

Why just call [/ QUOTE ] I'm no Shillx and would probably have raised the flop too, but here are some possible reasons to call: you're not getting even a small club to fold or a straight draw, and there are a lot of cards that can wreck your hand on the turn. If a club lands on the turn, you're folding. If a straight card comes, you're in a tricky position. If the turn is a blank however, your equity goes way up. Just calling the flop saves you money in this position when you can easily be outdrawn. |

Re: AQ against scary board
I think it's six of one, half a dozen of the other. There are hands that will call one but not two bets. Some of them shouldn't call one, so you're profiting if you just call, but some can. You're offering a gutty 11 to 1. I'm giving him 6.5 to 1 (assuming Villain calls and doesn't reraise). You're also offering small pairs 11 to 1. They can take one off for that.
