400NL river decision with AA

[TylerD]

Another AA hand, fascinating, I know.

No reads on villian, first round at the table.

$400 effective stacks.

UTG limps, folds round to me in SB. I raise to $16 with A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], BB folds, UTG calls.

Flop: Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

I bet $30 into a $36 pot, call.

Turn: 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I bet $74 into a $96 pot, call.

River Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Pot $244. $380 left to bet.

I ???

If I check how do I respond to, say, a 3/4 pot bet? What about a push?

[BobboFitos]

check

make a read

probably call

is this full ring or 6max?

do you play as "tdurden"?

about the bet sizes: Id be more apt to fold to a push, obviously. Why? 1, a push seems like a donk saying "YES I HIT TRIPS IM ALL IN". 2, a smaller bet means we need to win less to profitably call.

Thing is, a queen largely doesnt make alot of sense, but this hinges on if he's tight or loose, which you dont know, also if its short or full, which I dont know.

too bad this isnt live, bc then he could show you a king and say "KQ or KT". that would be baller.

I check and call most bets, maybe some kind of timing tell could induce me to fold but Im basically always calling a pot or 3/4 pot bet. Nothing got there and I dont see how he has a Q here really.

Uhm, does villian always raise or fold AQ or KQ on that board or preflop?

I think villian's two most likley hands are a straight or flush draw, or a queen. I think you can discount the rest.

If this guy can fire barrels at obvious river scare cards, then check / call. I don't see much value in betting, unless you are certian he won't bluff raise you. In which case I medium blocker / value bet is in order.

Personally I like a check call, but nothing too big - definatley not a shove =-)

I checked, he bet $200 and I made a bad fold.

After playing with him for another few orbits it became obvious I should have called in an instant, but even with my more limited information I still think it was a bad fold.

Bobbo,

No, I don't play as tdurden.
