AQo deep flop good

[orange]

Villan is taggy. He and I played a short HU session on another table in which I ran well (and made some aggressive plays) and won 2/3rds a buyin.

He seems competent enough. He may view me as aggressive. Here is one of the more significant hands we played during our HU session:

Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.75/$1.50 Blinds - 2 Players - (LegoPoker Hand History Converter)

BB: $318.50
Hero (SB): $388.60

Preflop: Hero is dealt 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">Hero raises to $4.50</font>, BB calls $3.00

Flop: ($9) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players)
BB checks, <font color="red">Hero bets $6.00</font>, <font color="red">BB raises to $16.00</font>, Hero calls $10.00

Turn: ($41) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">BB bets $25.00</font>, Hero calls $25.00

River: ($91) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 Players)
BB checks, <font color="red">Hero bets $40.00</font>, BB calls $40.00

Pot Size: $171.00 ($0.50 Rake)

BB had 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (two pair, Nines and Eights) and LOST (-$85.50)
Hero had 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (two pair, Queens and Nines) and WON (+$85.00)

Not that it really shows a tremendous amount, just shows that he is aggro and willing to c/r with marginal hands OOP with deep stacks. And that I call a bit lighter.

I messed up PF and was distracted/not focused. This is a RR 80% of the time I think. Anyhoo, villan is aggro (as is hero) and willing to make some plays. What is your flop line here? (I think there are many).

I think check-raise is good.

[orange]

and you are definitely calling a shove right?

[goofyballer]

He shouldn't be shoving for $250 over a c/r that's gonna be to like $50, so if he overbets then I'm rethinking my stance slightly, but yeah I'm check-raising planning to get money in if it comes to that.

[BombayBadboy]

I like a c/r too. C/cing leaves us in a tougher spot OOP, and this guy can play back at us with alot of hands. He certainly is not folding hands like KsQx. Call a shove. We have decent eguity vs. AA/KK.

[yabastid]

I am.... definitely

[hakeem]

I prefer 3bet preflop vs button raise, but as played a c/r seems decent. I can't imagine folding here to a push with good equity vs most hands.

Any thoughts on donking into him?

that's the line i would probably go with.

I don't really like it. It depends a lot on metagame, but I think too often he'll just fold to your lead (unless you do this a lot, which like I said is a metagame factor) and you're losing value compared to check-raising; this is a spot where you have a strong hand with lots of ways to catch up if you're behind, and thus you can let him fire at the pot (thus collecting more $$ when you play back) and stick some more money in there and still be strong enough to stand up to any more heat he'll put on you despite being OOP.
