Difficult AQ hand...maybe?
 

Party 2k, against conezone, tight 16/7 player. Other than a minor blow up a dozen hands or so ago in which i 3 barrel bluffed someone into a double up who turned the nuts T44T board (i know puke - it was a button steal on their part, can never give credit), I have a pretty good tight solid image. I am about 95% sure this is not a ten and rather a stubborn PP.

I don't think there's really any other way to play it. No way you checkraise the turn with AA/KK or a T.

Re: Difficult AQ hand...maybe?
 

I like it.

Re: Difficult AQ hand...maybe?
 

I would def. consider it with either, do most disagree?

I don't like a cr here cause I feel with his stack it's too committing, if he was deeper I like it, but here I don't want a call.

Re: Difficult AQ hand...maybe?
 

Wouldn't you be somewhat afraid of giving a free card to spades with AA/KK/T? I think check/calling and check/folding are both awful. Will this guy bet 44 if you check? If he will, I don't think he'll call a c/r all-in.

Re: Difficult AQ hand...maybe?
 

are you folding to a raise?

Re: Difficult AQ hand...maybe?
 

no. I'm pretty confident that if I pair either card I'm good too.

Re: Difficult AQ hand...maybe?
 

Push the turn?

Re: Difficult AQ hand...maybe?
 

Close one Ari. What makes it close is that he is so tight and yet called with an opponent behind him as opposed to last to act. If we think it's a stubborn PP, then your bet or a check-raise are both viable.

Hmm, I really don't think the cr is viable. I mean I think people feel much more committed to a hand after they put some money in on the turn, get cred, and then realize, well i'm probably beat oh well but I already put so much in and I only have so little left. Whereas the bet flop, bet turn is like ok, I know my 66 is no good, I'll lay down.

Eh?
