Line check with AQ

[Dumle]

Opponent is unknown. On the turn I was going to check anyway, so I called his small bet. Am I good often enough on the river?

Doubt it.

His line looks really strong.

I never know what to do here. Straight draw just got there too...I'd probably dump it.

[Dumle]

I figured. Anyway, I called and he showed 97 for the straight. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Would anyone consider raising on the turn since his small blocking bet might indicate he's looking to see the river cheaply (as he was in this case)...?

[scallop]

Depends if villain block bets with draws + nuts.

Yeah, I thought about it. However, there's only two good draws that he can realistically have here, 57 and 97, and I think, despite the turn bet, that a majority of his range is composed of hands that I don't want to fold out with a raise.
