Hello, this is normally how I play when I have KK/QQ and overcard comes, I turn my hand to bluffcatcher most of the time.

My question; is it okay to bet and check once Ace comes ? is this okay to x/c because opponent might interpret our check as weakness and bluff here. if he bets potsize or something big I guess that could be x/f easily.

Given he didn't bet the A turn, I bet v.small for value from Qx bluffcatcher etc

Is that standard ?

I probably shouldn't be filling the evaluation forum with these hands but just wanted to make sure ;)

Hello,

Well, if you expect him to bluff, then what hands do you think he has called you on the flop with in order to bluff this turn?
If he had an Ax he beats you, and I doubt he calls a hand like JT on the flop.

Overall, I prefer to bet here, as we will bet our air on this card, and we can take value from Qx hands as they are probably not folding.

As played, I'd bet 1/2 pot on river.

Best,
Plamen

I expect some TT-JJ,Qx,Ax to call on this flop, and on turn I figured they won't be calling my bet because A is a scare card. Given he checks behind on the turn, it is unlikely he has the ace so I bet to get value from same hands that called us on the flop.

I think if I bet the turn and he calls, I'm mostly likely checking the river as I don't have 3 streets of value from worse hands really, if he stabs river I fold.

You think people will call 1/2 w/ Qx and worse often here ? I will definitely try to bet 1/2 in situations like this one and see if I get any calls from worse.

Thanks

That's it - if he bets river when we have bet the turn we are most likely beat.

As played, 1/2 pot bet will be my minimum as I highly doubt he'd fold Qx in this spot ever.
