Would he cap preflop with AQ or AJ in a HU spot like this?

Re: How\'s my line? Standard?
 

Haven't seen him play any HU Blind defence hands - so I don't know. But his game seemed standard everywhere else

Re: How\'s my line? Standard?
 

Joker posted a river raise question yesterday. The consensus among the best posters was that an average player will call with a worse hand than top pair quite often and wont ever 3 bet with a worse hand. Villian, here, either has trips or a worse Ace. I don't employ this play with top pair yet, but I'm going to start especially if the feedback on your post is positive

I think it's close, but because of this statement, I like your play. The river K just counterfeited two pair combos A3 and A9. As long as you're reasonably certain he'll call your raise with a worse hand and not raise with trips here.

If you guys are going to start doing this, I'm going to start 3-betting trips and TPTK here. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

i think the river raise is wonderful. he pays off with any ace, he 3bets any K (and we can fold easily) and he never 3bets with a hand that we beat. AJ or AQ are possible however villian is most likely raising any A here in the SB and this A2-A9&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;AJ,AQ

i think i like it. were you check/calling if the river wasn't a king?

we have position. so just calling or betting if checked to, i would assume. however, i might raise the river anyway.
