dont really have much on the villain. i am interested to see what some of you guys think about this bet by the villain? on the flop

[Harry Fong]

i would assume KK, AA more times than not unless i had a read on villian

[members_only]

'For value' is the most likely answer to your question

[Dallas Dru]

i think a player like this... who is a fairly new player would not make that play

[members_only]

What do you mean 'new'?

It doesn't matter much how much he bets, you're going to be committed most ways

Really I think fold pf with no reads, the min-4-bet at 10NL is not to be taken lightly

And if you did have reads, include them in the OP

[Dallas Dru]

yeah i believe your right. 4 bet should of been a fold on my part.

here is the rest of the hand

Turn: ($17.25) A (2 Players)
UTG bets $0.45 and is All-In, Hero calls $0.45

River: ($18.15) 9 (2 Players - 1 is All-In)


Results: $18.15 Pot ($1 Rake)
UTG showed 9 9 (three of a kind, Nines) and WON $17.15 (+$8.15 NET)
Hero showed A Q (two pair, Aces and Queens) and LOST (-$9 NET)

Fold AQ to a 4-bet PF please.

When you 3Bet AQ in this limit you intend two things:
Take it down right there
or
Get some value from bad players AT; AJ etc.
when they reraise you they tell you I have a pair of 99 or better, or AK. Easy fold pf.
