I bet he gave himself a big pat on the back after that first one.

I don't like your turn bet. I don't see him folding absolutely anything that beats you, and you don't beat many hands in his range on that board. He's pretty aggressive, so getting c/r'd sucks. So just take the free one.

I am OOP, so i can't get c/r'ed. You don't think he folds AX here or a pp?

Re: KQo against Mr. Fancy pants
 

As long as he is raising his fair share of hands PF I don't have any qualms betting the turn to try and get him to fold Ax or a small pair. Against unknowns or little-knowns I generally assume they can lay down A high on the turn and sometimes a pair. Even if he doesn't lay down at least we have a good draw. The other annoying thing is that if we check he's likely to autobet any cards so I doubt we're getting a free card OOP and we'll have to fold the river UI those rare times we're ahead.

I like all streets.

Re: KQo against Mr. Fancy pants
 

I don't think he's folding on the turn so why risk a raise? I'd just c/c.

Re: KQo against Mr. Fancy pants
 

SOrry. Should've payed more attention. He's not folding AK, AQ, or A9 due to the board. He might fold a couple of others. I check/call.

Re: KQo against Mr. Fancy pants
 

Would you bet out on the river/cr/cc if you check call the turn.

Re: KQo against Mr. Fancy pants
 

I play it the same.

Re: KQo against Mr. Fancy pants
 

I'd bet call any pair, c/r a straight.

For those advocating the turn bet: why? Give him a range of hands and look at the board, and understand that if villian has a smaller pocket pair, a high percentage of the time (greater than 90%, I'd guess) he's going to showdown after he calls a flop bet.

Hero has 6 outs to the nuts, 2 outs to the near nuts, 6 somewhat tainted outs, some fold equity against Ax, and even a possibility of being ahead. A bet here seems alright to me.
