I sort of played this hand on auto-glide instinct (felt like a smooth-call from the BB instead of a 3-bet due to being out of position, felt like a fun time to check-raise, etc.), but after I bet the turn I got worried that I was spewing. I got lucky, but what should my plan be if this guy calls the turn? Check-fold the river unimproved? Bet and fold to a raise? This was fun and terrifying and satisfying and confusing all at once.

No reads on Villain except he has the biggest stack at the table twice over.

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 folds, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises</font>, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO folds, Button folds, SB folds, Hero calls.

Flop: (4.50 SB) 6/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 2/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 2/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP1 calls.

Turn: (4.25 BB) K/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP1 folds.

Final Pot: 5.25 BB

It's good. It's a nice line if you don't overuse it.

If he calls the turn bet: check-fold the river if you don't improve.
