I decided to not cap the flop, but raise the turn for value. A flop cap wouldn't have added much protection would it?

I considered calling the flop and check-raising the turn, but I think the standard line played here is better, right?

1) looks fine to me. you are heads up on the flop (after your raise of course) so you don´t really have to protect and the value line should be best.

2) i prefer the standard line too. but the standard line is check/raise flop, bet turn

1) I would play it the same if he is aggressive enough to 3bet with a weak Q (imho many passive players just bet-call with QJ etc).

btw what hands do you put him on after limping and then 3 betting the flop?
3bet doesnt look like a draw, so a Qx or better (66, TT?) seems most likely to me.

2) However the river looks a bit scary to me since AT makes higher 2pair and AQ the straight and any pair a set. If I put him on AJo+ ATS+ TT+ KQo preflop there is no single hand we win against.

But obviously my range assumption is wrong or he is so passive that he doesnt raise his 2 pair on the river.

we shouldn´t care about higher two pairs or straights because we have a full house

2) You are all right of course. Donking the flop is not a standard line :rolleyes:
