AQ misses the flop against a looser preflop RRer

[phobos]

he runs 28/23/4 over 125 hands and my notes say that he is very aggro preflop from what I've seen.

What is your plan when missing the flop on a board like this? On other types of boards?

Obviously a fold is standard, but how often are you mixing it up?

Pre-flop, against a villian with a huge 3-bet range in a Butt/BB situation I think it goes..

fold&gt;4-bet&gt;&gt;&gt;call

Your almost certainly ahead of his range, but if you just call you've lost iniative and are missing most flops.

I think this is a great spot to bluff re-raise. Having a K here looks very believable, it looks like you're defending against a possible flushdraw. He also won't try to push you off a weaker hand like a K with weak kicker as he will think it would look like he is pushing with a draw.

[ipokeder]

having a K here actually does not look believable at all, raising here is repping a draw or set (i.e. almost all draws)

Any K is likely ahead on a flop like this but is very vulnerable because of the flush draw. I think most people realize this and elect to re-raise with their pair. I think this applies much to the middle-stakes games where people generally are good at (over-) defending and value betting made hands.

A king isn't "very vulnerable" just because there are 2 cards of the same suit on the flop HU in a 3 bet pot. Your not repping KQ- with a raise here. I agree with ipokeder this is a more common line to take with a set or a draw.

I should have used the phrase "seems very vulnerable" as that is what I meant. I don't think it is a common line at these stakes to re-raise with a flush draw. Competent players may push to add some fold equity and fishy players may do it because they feel like gambling but most people just check/calls with their draws. I do think it is a more common line for people to re-raise with a K with decent to good kicker on a flop like this.

I don't like raising this flop like others have suggested. I'm giving up in this spot a lot, and if you feel like making a move I like a float here more than anything.
