Re: It\'s AQ
 

The river check is bizarre, because if he was pumping a drawing hand on the flop, 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] completed everything and you're not blind, so why the heck would you ever bet this river? I don't think he has a flush, and a straight is unlikely because only 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] exactly would 3-bet that flop---and I don't think he has a flush!

So if he doesn't have a flush, he has either Ax where x &lt; Q usually, or 66. Reads would help a lot, but I think on average this is an A that got scared enough to be profitable, so I bet the river.

Assuming I'm not tilting so badly I can't fold to a check-raise!

Re: It\'s AQ
 

i would bet the river on principle.

Bet and expect to see trash call you.

He just found out that he waaay overplayed his hand I think.

How? If he has 2 pair he either filled or has a better to pair than Bobby.

Re: It\'s AQ
 

You didn't give us much on MP, but if he's rational decent but not great I think the check behind is good.

The 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] is just about the worst card for you in the deck. Only slightly ahead of the 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Hopefully he was overplaying AT-AQ but then again he should have raised those. Maybe a middle pocket pair? Naw not much I see that he has that you like.

Re: It\'s AQ
 

perhaps noone's crazy enough to play 76 like that. but that's the only hand that I could think of that would slow down after all that aggression. I still think that AQ needs to value bet.

which two pair would that be?

Re: It\'s AQ
 

I'm also an advocate for betting the river. The question is: Is this an "easy" fold to a C/R?
