Average game. I will put you in the seat of MP1. He is tight/aggressive. Plays predictably well. Please comment on the line Hero throws at you? What do you put him on here? Does it make any sense?

Preflop: Hero is UTG. MP1 is dealt A /images/graemlins/heart.gifJ /images/graemlins/heart.gif.
Hero calls, <font color="666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="CC3333">MP1 raises</font>, MP2 calls, <font color="666666">5 folds</font>, Hero calls.

Flop: (7.33 SB) 3/images/graemlins/spade.gif, A/images/graemlins/spade.gif, T/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="CC3333">MP1 bets</font>, MP2 folds, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="CC3333">MP1 3-bets</font>, Hero calls.

Turn: (6.66 BB) K/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, ???

That is a weird line. One possibility is he limped with two spades (98?), flopped a flush, then saw his opportunity to check-raise to the aggressive preflop bettor. Since he doesn't have the nut flush he doesn't cap the flop, but the turn isn't a spade so he has to bet out for value -- the turn card is great for him because it just made a lot of 2nd-best hands.

So you have A /images/graemlins/heart.gifJ /images/graemlins/heart.gif against a tight preflop player(Hero) who throws this turn bet at you. What is your line?

I'd think hero has a J, Q-high flush or a set. If I were MP1, I'd call down from there.

I put MP1 on Ak with the K of spades. I fold if raised on the turn and if not I would probably check call the river unless an offsuit Q hits.
