Did I play this too fast?

Villian is super-aggro. He raises every flop and raises PF maybe every third hand, regardless of what he has (he re-raised $10 PF with 2 4o about 10 hands ago). He also has called down big raises to river with TPNK etc.

PP $ BB. Full ring. I'm in MP3 with A Q o ($80), he is button ($160)

1 caller to me who limps. Villian raises $4, I call and it's HU.

Flop: A Q 6, two spades. None of my cards is a spade.

I check (knowing he'll bet it)
Villian bets $4
I raise to $15.

Results and my thought process later.

how is this too fast?


he could very well be semibluffing and the times he has an ace, me might just pay you off.

I think you played it fine.

Looks good to me.

If he has a tendancy to call down (as you say he does), then make him pay. Hopefully he actually has a hand this time (AK) and you can stack him /images/graemlins/smile.gif

If it were a rainbow flop, you might wait till the turn to check-raise. But since another spade will kill your action, put the raise in now.

Actually, another great approach is to bet out. If he is very aggressive, he might raise as a bluff, or just because he thinks his TPNK is good. Then you check-raise the turn.
