Pacific Poker $3/$6
Hero A/images/graemlins/heart.gifA/images/graemlins/club.gif raise and all fold to CO (VIP 56%, prflp 21% agg factor 4.2). CO 3bet its heads up I call. I know he is agg so I will call and allow him to throw bets at me.
Flop: 7.3sb
Q/images/graemlins/club.gifQ/images/graemlins/heart.gifJ/images/graemlins/club.gif
I bet he raised I 3bet he capped. I have seen him bluff a lot so I know I'm going to the river. My 3bet was to shut him down if he had a J or KK etc. His cap got me real nervous.
Turn:7.5BB

Heres the big question(s). I was going to check call but whats the odds he has the other Q now? How aggressive would you get? Would it be a mistake to go full steam and hope for a big pair?

This is a case of outsmarting yourself preflop, I think--he isn't at all out of line if he's betting up a paired J or underpair on the flop, not putting you on an overpair & finding it unlikely that you hit the Q.

When the 3rd Q hits on the turn, I'm going full bore until it's capped. If he caps the turn and raises my river bet, I'll just call.

AK plays this way.
KK plays this way.
AJ plays this way.

Chances are you're way ahead. There's a slim chance he's got the Q, but this guy's mega-aggro, anyways; you can't give him credit. Raise it up every chance you get.

That flop call to the 3-bet is a little too tricky...this is pacfic, you can show him your AA and he will most likely cap with his 72o

Thanks for your thoughts. He had KQ but I capped every street. I got it back soon enough but wanted to evaluate my play.
