AQs against solid WSEX reg

[SomethingClever]

Preflop isn't standard (usually 3-bet ldo) but that's not what I'm interested in here.

Solid wsex regular opens to $3 in MP or CO. 6-handed. Effective stacks $115. Folded to me in the BB with AQhh, I call.

Flop: J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($6)

Hero checks, MP bets $4, Hero raises to $12, MP calls.

Turn: 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($29)

Hero bets $19 (I have reasons for underbetting a bit here, but I don't think it's what's important in the hand), MP calls to my surprise.

River: T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($67)

Hero has $82 left.....

a) overbet shove
b) Value bet $60-$65
c) attempt to checkraise all-in

Shove. I would also consider 3 betting preflop, and if you are going to c/r the flop, make it like $16.

I like shoving because he might have a hard time putting you on a flush, so he should call with a set. He might have a smaller flush which he is obviously never folding. But of course it depends on history and how he views you, etc.

Just valuebet

why not value bet? any lower flush and maybe trips is most likely reraising you all-in that would call your shove, but you might have a lot of 2 pair, tptk calling your valuebet

OK, sure.

Some guys will call this flop CR with overcards or even total air, but not this villain. He is 100% ahead of me when he calls that bet.

Therefore on the turn, I want to bet enough to give him a chance to fold a better hand (like AJ) and enough to keep him from thinking about raising medium strength hands that beat me... but not so much that I can't call when he does raise his strong hands... and not so much that I'm just pissing away money as he calls me down with KK.

The one detriment to betting a little smaller is that now the pot isn't quite big enough for me to shove the river without it being an overbet.

Further, I don't think betting, say, $25 gives me that much more fold equity anyway. Betting a little smaller than usual can make some villains feel like I have a super monster and I'm trying to entice him into a call. My line is pretty damn strong... CR the flop and lead the turn a little weaker than usual often = monster.
