5/10 AQ: Weakness vs. induction

[Transference]

I don't know this villian terribly well but I enjoy his company on my right. Approx 45/25/2 and capable of some trickery. Hes happily paid of a couple of my value bets so far and called turn raises with mid pairs. He limped then 3 bet my raise into a big field and took it down w/o showing.

A flop check even on this board makes me shudder a bit, I expect him not to find a fold with KK or QQ so im sorely tempted to bet. I havent seen him do much capping and I havent been terribly aggressive preflop on this table. I dont see folding to a 3 bet on any street as an option.

[cconnard]

i think that this guy is aggressive enough preflop that you are missing value by not betting the flop.

[shaodeee]

I'd bet flop..but if you pull this play I think you'd have to raise the turn or river.

Yeah, I think it should.

I think you played it all right. Your hand is too good not to show down even after the suspicious flop check, so I wouldn't want to walk into a checkraise on the flop.

Yeah, me too. In situations like this I check the flop behind very often; I usually consider betting flop and checking turn, but I usually can't guess if the guy's going to c/r the flop or turn if I'm beat. So I usually take the freebie even though it's a cheap one.

[Sandberg]

Not betting the flop is terrible here. You can reevaluate if you get c/r'd. But you have to take the lead on this flop. The villain is quite aggressive and probably won't go away if he has a big pp that you've just drawn out on.

[silkyslim]

just bet the flop d00d. if not you need to raise either the turn or river

[RunDownHouse]

Wow, I'm a huge skirt and even I think this flop is a must bet. Wait for him to c/r you with a worse hand, go to war with a draw, whatever. Given your line, I wait to the river to raise, and I raise this river. A flop check/turn raise line is the most likely to fold him out, I think.

Yeah I agree. If he were more passive I'd hate getting checkraised because I wouldn't be able to lay it down knowing I was beat....
but this guy...whatever. Go ahead and checkraise me. I don't feel the least bit bad about calling him down.

[Haiku]

As we've established you need to bet this flop, but what would you guys do if he had, SB called, and then check-raised the turn. Would you lay it down?
