I'd just check call and fold the river unimproved. The only thing your bet accomplishes is folding out AQ.

I would choose to 3-bet PF and lead the flop and turn.

Since you smooth called PF I much prefer check-raising the turn rather than leading out. Assuming I'm not 3-bet on the turn I'm leading a lot of river cards.

Crunchy, what do you do on the river if it is a blank? check fold or are you firing another time?

[einbert]

I'd either three-bet preflop, or if I didn't and I got that flop I would checkraise the flop.

I didn't think about 3-betting preflop. Is this only to get BB out? An other reason is that I don't think this is a steal. (his pfr is not so high)

Maybe a checkraise on the flop and lead the turn would be good. (fold to a 3-bet on the flop? fold to a raise on the turn?)

I don't see why checkraising the turn is a better action. By betting out I know where I stand if he raises. If I check-raise he would probably call or 3-bet. Then bet the river? This can cost a lot.

[Yort Mada]

i would 3-bet PF everytime here against anyone that i knew wasnt a ultra tight player... lots of people raise with really weak hands in his spot. if they are unknown or i've seen only a couple hands i'd probly re-raise anyway.

I fold this preflop. This guy is tight, aggressive, has position on you, and your hand isn't going to see too many flops you can really be comfortable with.

That said this could easily be a 3bet if he had been recently getting out of line, but a 7% preflop raise without any indication he is unreasonable suggests a lot of hands that have you severly dominated.

I agree, I almost folded preflop.

[admiralfluff]

fold preflop, fold the flop if i misclicked.

[chief444]

I'll play a K like this sometimes on the flop and then lead the turn because I think the opponent folds close to never but raises pretty often. So I guess what I'm saying is I don't like the line so much with A-high. I'd check/call the turn and probably fold the river unimproved.

Folding preflop makes me want to vomit.
