TPQK in position hu
 

Literally first hand at table. Never seen villain before. How's my line, do I raise river? What to? What do I do if he pushes?

I just call although I think you are good here a very high percentage of the time.

I just don't know if worse aces call here.

good turn check behind...call river...gh

Re: TPQK in position hu
 

Bet more on the flop, say $35-40. 1/2 pot is begging to be raised, which puts you in a difficult position. Plus you probably have the best hand and and weaker ace will still call.

I like the turn check. Just call the river since villain is unknown.

Re: TPQK in position hu
 

I don't really mind getting raised if I bet half pot. It's hard to beat top pair heads up.

Re: TPQK in position hu
 

I just call . I don't think there is enough value in raising here.

Re: TPQK in position hu
 

definitely raise. 4sure, raise raise raise.
im shocked by the advice in this thread, yuck.
make it 160. if he goes all in, fold.

Re: TPQK in position hu
 

160 might be too much. I think $120 is about as much as he calls with one pair. No way will he reraise anything but a set anyway, he's not bluff 3-betting here, so it's purely for value and I think any A will look up $120.

Re: TPQK in position hu
 

I think I like the 120 raise here, not sure what I was thinking just calling. I didn't spend enough time looking at the hand, and I didn't even see preflop action. I apologize for my previous weak/tight advice [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
