Played less than 10 hands with villain, he has played two hands so far, he raised pf from EP with AJ o/s and played the hand correctly after the flop. He also raised pf with JJ and again played the hand correctly so he seems ok.

PokerStars 0.50/1.00 Hold'em (10 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with K/images/graemlins/spade.gif, K/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">8 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB 3-bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero caps</font>, BB calls.

Flop: (11.50 SB) 8/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 6/images/graemlins/club.gif, 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, BB calls.

I think the bet out on the flop probabably rules out that he has got a set of eights or nines, but I think he still could have a wide range of hands. I am fairly sure that I am currently ahead.

Turn: (7.50 BB) Q/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises</font>, Hero ?????

The c/r was a bit of a surprise. I would be surprised if he had something like AQ or KQ. I think he may have AA (six ways) QQ (3 ways) or KK (1 way) I would be surprised if he had JJ or TT. I think I am probably behind, and I don't have the odds to draw for another king. The pot is however quite big so whats my play?

Given that you've only seen fewer than 10 hands, I'm not sure you can put him on a hand. Yes, the two you've seen were good starting hands, and he played them well, but who's to say he wouldn't have 3-bet the AJo if re-raised? So, I don't think you should so quickly discount that he might be holding K/images/graemlins/club.gifJ/images/graemlins/club.gif or AQo.

I think your hand is obviously too strong to fold in this pot, so call the turn. The bigger question to me is what you'll do when the K/images/graemlins/club.gif falls on the river?

I call down from here. The board is scary and you don't know what he's up to, so there's no need to go overboard.

I think half of the time it's going to be QQ, the other half AQ. I'd call down after that CR.

A /images/graemlins/club.gifK /images/graemlins/club.gif wouldn't be out of the question either. . . .
all in all, i'd call down but i wouldn't be terribly suprised to see AA or QQ. Whatever it is, i wanna see it.
