Haupt I don't understand the call on the flop, and then folding when you hit the turn. If you were folding to an A on the turn why are you calling the flop bet? Were you just calling for the gutshot? Would you have stayed in if a Q hit?

Peace,
Confused

I was peeling mainly for the GS, since I thought that even if I hit a Q or A, I would still be crushed by villain's likely range...

Good fold, the only hand you are safe against given the action would be QQ.

I'm not so certain of this. The stats we have tell us little of his PF 3-betting range. However, he appears to be aggressive preflop and postflop. Agressive players can 3-bet with less than QQ in this situation...

I think his flop he flop was a standard continuation bet for an aggressive player. I think this tells us even less about his hand.

At the turn I think we might be ahead or equal, and we have a draw to the best possible hand. The pot is of good size. A call seems good IMO.

Hey Allday, just a few things I want to point out about your post that I felt differently about while playing the hand

If he does 3bet with less, I would expect his VPIP to be more than 16.9, even over a 200 hand sample.

I don't think the possibility of him having the same hand should sway us into calling down both streets.

While I was playing the hand, I thought that even though I was closing the action HU on the turn with TPGK, the only likely hand I am ahead of is QQ/TT (assuming he bets the turn still, which many TAGs won't) and splitting with AQ. I am behind to basically everything else...

Your reasoning seems good to me Haupt. I think its a close decision.

Nor do I. The possibility of him having a worse hand (I think this is slightly more likely than you think it is) or the same hand makes me think it might be a call situation.

Edit: Well I suppose the possiblity of us having the same cards is 'swaying' me in a sense. However, I'm putting very little weight on it. I think this is okay. We would surely call down (or raise) if we could see his cards...

If we call down and split, we'll have invested 2BB to win 4BB and change, correct?

I think preflop and flop are good.

Given the villain's high AF, the fact that you are now heads-up, and the decent pot, I would have actually called the turn with your TPGK and draw.

His PF aggression suggests that he might be a loose PF reraiser...
