BB is loose-passive preflop, but seems pretty average postflop. All my notes on him involve some sort of trickiness. It's mostly sandbagging type stuff, but I do think he's pulled a failed bluff or two as well.

situations like these always throw me. i don't think you really have a choice but to bet here. the fact that you have tricky notes is troubling but if villain does have something like AK or a smaller pair giving a free turn card really sucks.

oh, and FWIW, if i get check/raised on the flop i'm probably calling down, but if BB smooth calls and then check/raises a blank turn i'd probably fold.

Bet? I can't see a check here being correct even if he does cr and slowplay a lot.

Bets and hopes for a non a-k turn.

Correct. And I hate this situation as well but what can you do.

I bet, the villain check-raised, and I decided to peel one off. Turn comes a queen and he bets out. What's your play now?

[imported_CaseClosed326]

Raise, call a 3-bet.

Anyone cap if he three bets?

not even a little bit.

Raise.

You raised UTG, and he 3-bet you and a caller - this makes his hand range pretty skewed towards the high end.

When queen pairs he can't have QQ, so you are up against AA/KK/AK/AQ/JJ..
maybe TT or 99? (he's lp preflop, right?)

Given his flop C/R I'd be more likely to put him on JJ/TT/AK than AA/KK/AQ which I feel he'd wait till the turn to raise. Sooo...I'd raise.

Now if he 3-bets I'm starting to reconsider AA/KK, but i'm quite worried about AQ. Unless he's lag (which it doesn't sound like) I think TT and JJ become very unlikely if he 3-bets the turn...

I was about to type how I think a calldown is correct...but the more I think about it a loose passive seems very unlikely to 3-bet AQ out of the BB after an UTG raise and a SB caller... that makes me more likely to cap (but just call if he bets into me on the river.)
