Too thin? (vb'ing 100nl)

Villian isn't great. In the only previous hand of note with him, he had like 30bb's and limped called my raise. Flop was AT2 spades and he crai, I call with QQ[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and his A3o is good.

Given that should I be folding flop, and should I be betting river?

FWIW he is 62/6/.5 over a small sample.

Not too thin imo.. Ace is a decent card for you as his range becomes more weighted towards Ts (Also when you call the flop and he doesn't fire the turn helps towards weighting his hand more towards air/tens rather than an ace).

plus does he ever *really* check an ace on the river after the turn went check check? This was my thinking.

yea I dont see an ace checeking the turn unless hes some dumbass with AA or something... definentally bet river, and if he pushes then i guess you have to fold

ur play is fine, if he's checking an A twice, then oh well

I would fold to the flop c/r if he isnt doing that kind of stuff all the time, your behind to often. I might also check behind on that flop pretty often.

Given that he checked both turn and river i think a value bet is ok.

Any reason for this? This seems uneccessarily risky.

To induce a bluff bet from him on the turn, and he will never fold a better hand than yours if you bet.

But he will call with worse and you protect your hand. Plus the whole hand plays easier.

This is a standard value bet. He is never checking an A here. With that said, you have to fold to a c/r.
