Is this a pretty easy laydown (AQ)?

[dawade]

No real reads on this villain. I have only played maybe one other hand at this table. (21/6.5/3.0) over 46 hands. I figure he could have 22, TT, or even 88 maybe. What kinds of hands do you put such a villain on?

well I agree with you that a set COULD be his hand however it is not the ONLY hand that he would do this with (or is it? I've never played with this villian).

As is, its either push or fold - I think I might push (but then again I am bad so don't listen to me) becuz he MAY also have TPsmallerK

a turn min-raise with that kind of stack usually beats tptk

[stu-unger]

i like the fold here... i think u see 2 pair + here like always from a sane opponent...

I think you're beat, but it's a weird hand. Based on his stats it doesn't make much sense. 88 might be it, but maybe J9s. From his stats it doesn't seem like the kind of hand that he would be playing from MP1, but who knows I've seen stranger things. Could have been slow playing TT and with two clubs and diamonds on the board he is trying to discourage you from making a flush draw even though you don't have one.

I find that tptk is beat here often enough to make this a good fold. Now if I could just get myself to make the fold that would be great.

yup

This could also be an overpair slowplayed. With those stats, I think it is a fair guess that someone with AA or KK might just cold-call a UTG raise preflop. Just calling on the flop is somewhat sketchy with an overpair, but I think it is a play you'll see a lot of people make.
