[Closed] NL100 SH: AQ looking for value

how do u like the line and the sizing?

Overall, I like it. On the river, we're trying to get value from KQ, JJ, TT (but not much else). I'm not sure if those hands are paying you off $38, though, so perhaps $28-30 may get a few more calls.

I'm a nit, so I check behind here, but I think a bet is probably good.

nh, valuebet river is the best choice, cause he have just a bluff catch 90% et flush draw have miss.

I like to raise the flop, especially given the aggro history with him.
He should expect you to have almost no Qx in your range that you could possibly raise here.
Therefore if he has KQ or QJ as well as QTs you have a real chance of stacking it.
Additionally to all Qx he will have a really hard time folding medium pairs because he can't put you on Qx, so you might even get a call out of those.
If he has a FD it's unfortunate because you're only flipping with him, but imo the times you get it in against weak Qx makes up for that.

As played I like the sizing, I thought about making it bigger, but you're trying to represent a range that mostly consists of bluffs, therefore imo the $18 on the turn are nice.
On the river I think it's also ok, you're basically trying to get hands like 99-JJ to call, maybe some 8x, too.

are you serious, Bierbaer?

lol, why do you think he isn't serious?

i just doubt that competent player will be ch-calling midpair 3 streets here. Or i missed smth?
BTW i agree with all statements and lines, just was figuring out this 1.

That's pretty std. calldown with aggo. history. He showed up with 99 btw.

Well, 76 and the BDFD got there, the FD missed.
So he has to put us on either air or good Qx/straights which tried to take it down on the turn.
Therefore he could think we are likely to fire again with busted draws on the river so he tries to bluffcatch with hands as weak as 8x or 99-JJ.

yeah i agreee with river, but he just dont have 8x in his range due to his line (Ac8c? ))

He had 99, A8 usually has even more equity because you have 5 outs instead of 2 the times you're behind. So therefore I think he could have it as well.

Also given the action: Raise preflop - A8s could definitely be in his range.
Cbet flop - it's still in there.
Turn blanks so he decides to bluffcatch against floats.
River only brings the BDFD and the OESD, so he might level himself into calling again because he thinks we have a busted FD way more often than the straight.

ah thats so spewy oop. Ok he can do that )
