Getting creative with AQ
 

Mid-limit 6max table, playing rather passive but moderately loose. Utg limps, Utg+1 raises(straight forward), Button coldcalls, I call from SB with AQ, BB calls. Five to see a flop.

Flop- J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Checked to PF raiser who bets, folded to me and I checkraise. All fold in between and PF raiser calls.

Turn- J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I check, he bets, I call.

River- J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

I bet and he folds.

What say you?

Re: Getting creative with AQ
 

Why not check-raise the turn? You might be able to get an extra bet out of a hand like KQ or ATs.

I don't really like the flop check-raise, unless you think you can get him to muck TT or smaller pocket pair. I'd rather 3-bet pf and hope to get it 3 handed on the flop.
