Am I way out of line here?
 

I do this kind of thing all the time on double paired boards when I hold an ace.

any reads on BB? I really think it's read dependent.

Well, I'm not so much asking about this specific hand as the idea of calling down with A-high on a double-paired board.

So let's rephrase it like this: Against what type of opponent do you fold this to? Against what range of opponents do you call?

How significant is the decision either way?

Re: Am I way out of line here?
 

Preflop and flop seems pretty standard to me.

A question I would ask myself in the heat of the action when facing the turn raise would be:

"If he would bluff more often than 20% here, i would call him down. If not, fold".

Assumptions: you call the turn raise, he bets the river you bet.

So against a bluff-happy lad i would go for it, against a passive i would fold.

*grunch*

I think you played it just right. I'm not great on WA/WB strategy but when the 7 falls on the turn he either has the boat (which I doubt cuz he didn't reraise the flop) or two-pair w/ lower kicker. The J on the river could give him the higher two pair but I think the call is still the right move.

nm, just re-read the post.

Re: Am I way out of line here?
 

Im weak tight then, Cause i ditch this once i get raised.
He's BB... if i give anyone credit its him.

I disagree about this being WA/WB, what are we way ahead of that raises?

we're only ahead of Overcards.

you're assuming he raising with a made hand.

Re: Am I way out of line here?
 

yeah and i just realised its 6max and 1/2 so maybe hes buffing like hell.
Gee i suck at headsup, I need tutoring!

Re: Am I way out of line here?
 

I might check on the turn and just call down.
