Re: $55 AQ hand help
 

Villian holds AK, AJ or Kx of clubs? Two out of those three are not good for Hero. The way he played it could either be walking the dog or just dead-set on drawing to his flush. At the $11s he's drawing to his flush, not sure about the $55s.

Still don't think I'd be folding on the end. This mostly because I sux0r.

The turn and river both can't go check check or you'll almost always miss value.

Re: $55 AQ hand help
 

Yea, I guess by this point if you're behind, villian will lead out. 400 sound good? Little less, little more?

Don't play it like I did last night and lose to moron's AJ (who called my pf raise, but meh whatever)

Re: $55 AQ hand help
 

you have to call the river here given the size of the pot. honestly i am at a loss to guess what he has, there are a number of hands he could have, and if he had a big hand that beats you he certainly played it strangely given his stack size.

this is what I was thinking. Up til this point it seems that he has played this hand rather donkishly. If he had that strong of a hand, why didn't he just c/r AI on the turn?

Also I raised the flop for information intending to fold to a reraise. For the people who just call the flop what do you do when he fires a second barrel on the turn? In my experience if you just call players at this level they feel like you're drawing and will keep firing with a wide range. Also if I have him beat and hes on some kind of draw shouldn't I be charging?
