Preflop: Hero is SB with T A
UTG raises, 3 folds, Hero calls, BB folds

Flop: (5 SB) 2 Q K (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG bets, Hero calls

Turn: (3.5 BB) 7 (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks

River: (3.5 BB) A (2 players)
Hero bets, UTG calls

im wondering if i should bet/fold here. when he checks turn i think its an honest I give up check. no hands on him basically but he is something like 27/13 something. not too passive. reason for not 3betting pre is simply because his pfr was 13 at the time and i had just sat down at the particular table. Just wanted to feel him out sort of.

I think bet/fold is the best option if you do check/call the river he only bets you with a spade. Nice hand ;)

x/c if he can bluff enough ( he needs to turn PP-s into a bluff) otherwise (most likely) x/f

I wouldn't say so, well it is certainly not a value hand but by any chance that he doesn't have a spade he could fold quite a lot. and if he raises i can safely fold. this is just my thought, is it bad ?

I think you'll only get called by a better hand and he folds worse hands only

I think it's alright to fold ATs preflop given the positions. The hand doens't play very nicely OOP versus the UTG range in my opinion, and especially if he opens already very tight, I think it's an easy fold.

well, if you want him to fold, it's a bluff. :) it's not a good bluff though, you'll only make worse hands fold

i see so I shouldn't bet here. I take it thats the consensus ?

KingKas - I am never folding ATs here if he had just been a bit more loose id have 3bet this. its an easy 3bet normally. Given this is Fixed Limit and not No Limit forums. I know you guys like to fold your Aces preflop , we don't.

I don't like any option, so I think you should have sat out the hand before and taken your wife to a nice dinner.
