Default AA in $22 $10kg, what now?

Did not get the converter to work [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Villian is new to the table, so no reads. Has my line been ok so far? And what should I do on the turn, and what should my plan be for the river?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

UTG (t9260)
Hero (t4745)
MP1 (t2155)
MP2 (t1520)
MP3 (t2845)
CO (t2555)
Button (t4615)
SB (t2932)
BB (t625)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with A, A.
[color=#666666]1 fold</font>, [color=#CC3333]Hero raises to t200</font>, [color=#666666]5 folds</font>, SB calls t175, [color=#666666]1 fold</font>.

Flop: (t450) T, Q, 5 [color=#0000FF](2 players)</font>
SB checks, [color=#CC3333]Hero bets t400</font>, SB calls t400.

Turn: (t1250) 5 [color=#0000FF](2 players)</font>
[color=#CC3333]SB bets t650</font>, Hero ???

Call the turn.

River clearly depends on his actions. A big bet may be a fold but a smaller bet will be a call.


Your 400 flop bet was a bit high for me (250ish I would bet) and he may see this as you trying to c-bet against his naked Queen.

I'd likely call too, but I think a raise is reasonable. Most players (correctly or not) in $22 would check-raise a flush there. You don't want to give a lone heart a free card. Tough spot.

What are you beating? KK? JJ? Villian has played the hand exactly like a FD, possibly a gutshot thrown in if he is tight with AK [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Also, a decent villian is pot committed with his turn bet.

I fold. If I held the A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], I prolly jam.

A good villian has 1 queen like 5% of the time following this line.

He has a Queen &gt;5% here.

Call turn, call small-med river bet.

He calls pf, post flop, why does he change on the turn all of a sudden and take the lead?

A lot of the time he wants to give the opportunity to fold - he's seen a flop bet that looks like a continuation and wants to protect his queen more than 5% of the time.
