AQ, how's my line?

No read on villain. Since no one raised PF, I think AK is quite unlikely. A set is a possibility, but my thinking at the time was that he probably had a weaker ace, or a heart draw. For some reason I didn't raise the flop though, even though I was pretty sure I was ahead. I don't like my line here much at all.

I wouldn't put him on a draw here - raising into a field of 6 with a draw is a funny play. Looks more like he's got a hand he wants to protect. I probably call the flop, and get pissed off the the J on turn has hit one the most likely hands I beat [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

he either has AJ, AQ, AK or 99.

I most strongly think 99 or AK.

Im gonna say 99, I used to think people wouldnt lead with a hand whose intrinsic value is sneakiness, but I see it more and more.

I think you're ahead

Er, he's behind 99 though..
