Calling flop is good.
On the turn you are almost everytime better, because ak and sets betting turn most of the time. Now its player dependent, if you think you can get more value by betting, then ok. Against good players you can check it behind and bet / call river bluff.

IMO.

If villain isnt nit, im definietly betting the turn and wanna play for stacks.
Against nit i wanna play bet flop check turn bet/call river. If hes betting, im giving up, because villains range are sets mostly.

Calling MW flop with AQo is good????? What are you smoking? Preflop, that is a 3bet or fold situation. He ends up monkey in the middle with a medium Ace in a pot versus a fairly tight open raiser from early position. Pretty much the definition of where you do NOT want to be with AQo. In that situation, his Ace is almost never good. He took the hand because of the MW action on the Flop. This hand is the definition of how NOT to play AQo.

And you are playing for stacks there???? MW with such a dry board there? What are you getting called with on the flop if you are the OR? Sets- sometimes weaker Aces, Maybe QJ. MW increases the odds of someone hitting a set against you. 3people were still in it on the Flop. The 2 that were not the OR had calling ranges of 10 percent or less. Neither is a fish. Sometimes, spewy, but not fish. Very Rarely is Top Pair anywhere close to good in that situation, 2p is very rarely any good there either for that matter.

lol. Dont have the energy to even begin to address all of the nonsense itc.

AQ.

What the hell is going on here?

To check that turn with 2 pair against 2 players is pretty criminal. You have to put one of them on one hand to be check/folding there. I feel dirty just looking at it.

I lol at times at how scared some people play these games. This isnt a thin value bet but people could add so much to their win rates by actually using the bet button in good spots rather than the check button.The number of times you see people check behind rivers and such with TP is laughable.

wait that wasn't a misclick?

A hand that defies analysis once both sides of the argument have been seen.

About the 2nd hand. I think only one hand beat us: 55. Without any reading I think this is bet/call. if villain had AA KK there is 3b preflop. If he had 66 fold on flop. AQ, AJ, A5, A6...or any 77+ card turn into bluff...depends on aggr factor, and some other history. But I think check/fold is weak. You lost lot's of value.

If I'm wrong please tell it, I appreciate it.
