AQ against scary board

[drzen]

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.

I don't like giving him the free card on the turn. Don't be afraid of the flush here.

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.

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.

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!!

You played it backwards. I would call the flop and then raise the turn. As played I would certianly bet the turn.

I like the flop raise, hate hate hate the turn check on a good card. I also like the river value bet when the 4th club misses.

I'm liking hte flop raise. If villian had a flush he no doubt would of 3 bet you there.
With him been loose and passive its doubtful he would c/r you on the turn so I would bet the turn. No doubt fold if he rasied you.
