Re: AQ line check
If you cannot bet or check-raise this flop, then you should not play AQo UTG. If you are convinced he has KK/AA then fold, don't call down. If you think you are WA/WB (you aren't) then there is a smidgen of a chance in your mind that he has something other than AA/KK.
I am not sure how you can ever be that convinced without thousands of hands on the guy. I cannot see how a loose but not overly aggressive player cannot have AK or JJ here which a loose not overly aggressive player will not fold.

Re: AQ line check
ben said it first and best:
[ QUOTE ] Check-raise flop. Call down to a 3-bet unless board gets sloppy or you have a more specific read. [/ QUOTE ] donking this flop is really dumb.

Re: AQ line check
im betting out on this flop, if he raises im prepared to call it. he will raise you with many hands from this spot which kind of makes me want to 3 bet it on the flop.
i dont know what you guys think about this but i wouldnt mind 3 betting this flop and seeing how he reacts. a loose not overly agressive player will never be able to get rid of JJ or AKS in this spot. hands that are going to pay us off

Re: AQ line check
Why would you donk the flop? I don't get donk bets; more often than not they're incorrect. If you never donk-bet you're probably not making many mistakes.

Re: AQ line check
I spent many hands playing weak tight convincing myself everything was a WA/WB situation and calling down a LOT.
It's an expensive habit that needs to be broken. You end up seeing more than your fair share of runner runner beats. Don't be afraid to throw a check-raise in there. If he has AA, then catch a Q on the turn.

Re: AQ line check
This isn't a good example of a WA/WB situation. When the flop gets bet, turn gets checked, and river gets folded by the opponent it is terrible for you. This happens all day with AK and AJ. When villain has TT or JJ, he may call the river, but you're missing 1 1/2 BB by not C/R and betting down.

[/ QUOTE ] wow. i would donk here in a heartbeat. i used to never do it, but recently changed my ways. i've said this before. given the current overuse of the flop c/r and also to solicit action with other hands, i've started donking alot of flops into the last preflop aggressor with a pretty wide range of hands. thing is, it needs to be a part of an overall strategy. just because it would be correct for me to donk it given my style, doesn't make it right for OP. that said, my standard line these days would be b/c the flop, donkety donk the turn.
