AQo against two LA-Ps

[wuarhg]

Do you play it the same way? I didn't like this hand at all but I didn't want to raise the turn nor could I fold it. The guy betting is 33/6. Btw, I thought about the overcall on the river but MP1 was a really horrible calling all kinds of stuff to showdown.

Raising the turn is very enticing. Yea, I think I raise the turn and re-evaluate if I am 3-bet. Over how many hands is this player rated as passive postflop.

I don't see a reason not to raise the turn. I don't put too much stock into a guy who posted UTG then 3-bet you, he's probably just pissed his posted blind got raised. If there is a spade draw in there you'd like to hit them for two on the turn.

About 300-400 hands. I was thinking about the turn raise but he seemed to raise pretty ok hands. So I figured he'd 3-bet me here with TT-AA, AK. Of those hands i'm ahead of JJ and AK here and if I 3-bet he might fold so do I really want that? And ofcourse the other Loosie might also fold if he noticed a raise.

I like a turn raise.

Were you seriously considering folding the river?

I thought about it for 2 seconds and came to the conclusion that it would've been wrong. Why is raising the turn better instead of calling? Am I missing something simple?
