My Hud is bugged on this table so I don't have stats on vilain. He looks like a tag though... I'm really not sure what he's representing on the river... QT? Seems like a tiny range.

his range isn't that tiny but since he's a tag they usually don't slowplay sets or top pair..

so he has hit the queen i guess, qj, qks, maybe aqs
only real bluff is jk

i guess u gotta fold and just bet out on the flop next time to know where u r in the hand

You don't think it would be quite weird to bet that strong with a queen?

u gotta bet the flop here
if raised give up, if called c/f turn IMO
he's probably got AQ, TT or maybe even something like KsQs if u do a lot of 3bets from the blinds

why not betting that strong, u checked down the whole hand, he can be pretty sure u don't beat aq or kq most of the times, but i dunno if he's smart enough to make it look like a bluff betting this much or if he's just straightout bluffing...

Looks like Qx betting for value. Maybe checked behind on the flop with AQ since it has showdown value.

What's wrong with betting 80% pot with AQ on 2 streets when you're check calling?

Please bet the flop. If he raises then you deal with it there. You can't be paranoid that your opponent always has you crushed.

bet flop

i dont like 3 bet pre unles ur willing stack it with pair or fd or overs +backdoor draw. or unless ur willing to c/f flop. so basically villain is abc (we can bet / fold) or spewtard (shovemclove)

against solid player i like call pre and c/r flop with lots of missed stuff as well as when we hit like this one. u need to save some strength to c/r flops this is a good hand for it imo

bet flop

as played, fold this. i don't think villain turns his hand into a bluff that often enough for this to be a profitable call.

Assuming villain is a TAG, and not a super-nit, you flopped the nuts. Get the money in.

The only hands I'd put in his range that beat you are T9s and 99. If he had TT+ he'd probably play back preflop against a squeeze. He probably called you with random broadways or some kind of suited connector type hand. T9x two-tone is exactly the type of board he's going to be looking to make a move at postflop. Bet the flop and fistpump/call.

He can def have AQ/KQ on the river. Not much else though - but also not much else he would bet so even though his range is narrow I dont see this being a bluff often - most guys just bluff one street adn then give up on the river.

If you bet the flop it is with the intention of calling a shove

With history flop crai isn't bad because this is the kinda board that you are gonna wanna c/f with some freq so you can balance that like this, and people will take a load of stabs. Would much rather it if board was like T96ss or something tho. But you didn't give history so yeah b/c.

if villain is even remotely aggressive the flop looks like an east b/c
