AQ - Should I be going to SD?
 

So I'm still trying to get used to the aggression at the 15 and I feel I need to getting to SD more often. I don't know if this hand is the best example of where I might need to see a SD, but maybe.

Villain is 30/20/1.25 after about 75 hands.

This fold is fine? Give him credit for the K or should I call this down?

Nah, that's a pretty standard fold. There's very little you beat.

Although 75 hands is too small a sample size it's all you have and the 1.25 agg level means he pretty much has a K here. Good laydown.

Re: AQ - Should I be going to SD?
 

I'd say he has at least a King here, and maybe a slowplayed 9 that didn't want to lose you most of the time here.

I might raise this river, if I think he's capable of bet/foldling a weak king or an underpair, and I'ld probably fold this river in all other circumstances. Villian would have to be total douche for me to consider callling and 75 hands is enough to know that this villian probably isn't a douche.
