You have much better hands to x flop with. Like A2s and A4s-A9s. There's no reason to check a hand as strong as AQ here. I'd fold turn as there's a decent probability (from villain's perspective) that you have Tx. River is an obvious fold.

Yep, seeing it now I'm amazed at how much ****ty I played this hand. X flop makes no sense, so does betting turn.

Yeah check worse Ax if you wana x the flop, turn needs to be a x for obvious reasons and fold river.

Dunno why everyone is dissing the turn bet. He's gonna have underpairs and worse Ax to call. I'm definitely betting it.

Checking a flop that is good for you and betting a turn that is bad for you doesn't make any sense.

By you I mean your range btw.

Who cares?

He checked the flop, which I agree is a big mistake, but as played we can definitely bet for value.

I also don't agree it's bad for our range. We can have Ax that checked flop, also maybe AA sometimes. Don't think villain has an absolute abundance of Tx in his range given most people fold offsuit Tx pre most ott. We can 3bet some Tx ourselves so it's like, whatever.

SB 3bet range shouldn`t really have much less Tx in their range than BTN calling range.

As played i also don`t mind betting turn as there are many worse hands that will call. I think oop we have to fold against the xr ott though as we will have to fold otr a lot.

Obviously leading the flop is by far the best line, but given the way it's played out, I think we have to continue with the passive line.

People are not gonna raise here very much, unless they are very aggressive. It's certainly reasonable for us to have plenty of bet/calling hands, especially at these stakes because people do some really silly stuff, like bet/calling KK (which of course might be good in some cases

) or even sillier etc.
