Default 77

Party Poker I raise 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] from UTG and am 3-bet by a good TAG player who probably respects me in UTG+1. Her range here is almost certainly AK, AQ, 88-AA or something similar. Everyone else folds and I call.

Flop K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] I check and call intending to check-fold the turn if I don't improve.

Since you don't have the 7h it's quite marginal to even go to the turn, I don't think you can.

Nate,

in this game, is AQ an automatic bet on the turn for villian? (assuming a blank)

I dont really know the dynamic of how this game plays, but, if you could expect a check a decent portion of the time, the math of the situation would probably change a lot. (especially considering AQ is now her most likley hand)

I'm thinking she must be checking behind on the turn sometimes. (Otherwise, I'm not sure I understand the play.)

Edit: Do you have bluffing outs that count as "improvement," maybe?

I'm not anticipating attempting to bluff against this opponent.

You also can't possibly be expecting the opponent to give up with AQ and give you a showdown just because you called the flop.

How often does she need to check behind the turn with AQ to make my call +EV?

How often does she need to check behind the turn with TT to double my chances of spiking a set?

With that K-high flop, you don't think you could get her to drop 88/TT/JJ/QQ?

what happens if the turn goes check-check? you still have to check-fold the river, right? I would assume she'll check it down with AQ though unless she hits.
