Default Oaks 15/30 , two barrels or one barrel?

15/30 at the Oaks. I got a good image. Have shown down mostly strong hands, and have a lot of chips in front of me. Previous round I won a huge pot, flopping pair+NFD, turn aces up and river the nutflush, to beat a lower two pair and a smaller flush. Very next hand I 3bet an EP raiser, and MP coldcaller w/ AQs in LP and fired 2-barrels on a K244 board to eventually lose to EP's 99 after blank river went check-check. I mucked my hand w/o showing if that makes a difference.

Villain has been playing mostly TAGish straightforward. Liked to open somewhat light in LP though. I think he's paying attention somewhat, but is also watching MNF off and on.

2 EP limpers, villain raises in MP, I 3-bet AQo in the CO. Limpers fold surprisingly, villain calls.

Flop 555r

Villain checks, I bet, villain calls.

Turn K, completing the rainbow.

Villain checks, I?

My god, def bet. You could easily get him to fold AJ/AQ here and you have an annoying but not-so-tough fold to a raise. If the river comes an A, Q, or J then you should bet again. else, check.

Do you consider your preflop play standard or are you only doing it against this villian?

Turn is an easy bet/fold for me.

I consider my preflop line to be pretty standard. I got a good hand, but one that doesn't play great vs. a lot of opponents so by 3betting 1. I'll likely buy the button and 2. hopefully knock the blinds out and maybe one or both of the limpers and get HU. 3-betting will also increase my postflop FE on boards I don't hit, something I failed to take advantage of in the hand in question.

Obv if a rock raises in front of me, I'll probably not 3bet, but vs. most players in this game I routinely will.

Is my thinking sound about this preflop?

I don't know about the average player in your specific game but in general AQo doesn't do well against a preflop raiser.

Niedam,

Your ideas confuse me. I do not wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Any contructive advice or are you just trolling today? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Seriously if you disagree with something I'd love to know what and why.

Only if most players in this game are pretty laggy. When a tag player raises PF after several limpers (or from early position), usually AQo is a dog to his range. Also, hoping to fold out the limpers is pretty optimistic (you said so yourself), so you are almost guaranteed to be playing 4-handed here.

If villain had raised first-in from MP than I think it's pretty standard.

Bet.
No need for him to think you double barrel w/o the goods everytime here. If he C/R, fold complaining that QQ is never good.
