[jordiepop]

villian seems pretty solid. running about 18/16. havent seen anything out of line. is this a c/f ..b/f?

Bet $120 and fold to a shove? That's a pretty strange line he has going preflop, so I think you can be sure you're beat if he raises here. Then again, kind of looks like AK to me [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Yea seems like an easy bet/fold situation. 99/TT are pretty likely hands too given how preflop played out, so if he calls/raises this flop you're toast.

[jj12]

how about c/f. he will probably shove in 75%+ of the time.

ya b/f / c/f is fine against tag

[ChrisV]

c/f looks good to me. I'm struggling to come up with something he plays like that pf that isn't good on this flop. JJ is about all I got. If he has that, he might be scared to bet in any case, whereas if he feels his hand is good (eg AK) he won't want to be dishing out free cards. You might c/f to JJ occasionally but you'll lose more betting out into sets and AK imo.

why bet then?

C/F here. Your huge preflop three bet means that this guy's range is now down to AK/AA/KK/QQ. QQ is unlikely and everything else is shoving if we lead out. Why $84 pre anyway, $70 seems better.

Because the CO called. $70 is not a good raise here.

I would just check fold the flop. Lot's of people say you should always cbet in rr pots hu but if you check with AA and stuff sometimes too you can cf here with QQ and not waste your money on such a terrible flop.

actually, this is a standard bet call. who knew!
