Re: I don\'t want to be average
I feel like a lot of what you are saying mirrors what I am feeling.

Re: boring fold v tag.
If the SB has your range of AA, KK, QQ, TT, AK, and AQ then you have about 27% or about 3:8 equity against him HU on the turn. The MP muddies things up, but if we give him any braodway and any pair,...

Re: Do I need to follow this through?
Check behind on the river. If he missed the mostly likely draw, JT or maybe QJ, then you are still ahead, but he won't call the river bet with these. If he has an ace high then the better ones will...

Re: Ugh @ 5/10
I would put in more bets on the turn. You could not have asked for a safer card. The limp-cap could be AA, but at 5/10 I am normally shown a large range of crap as well. I would either donk the...

Re: missed value or allright?
I would raise the river and call the 3-bet. His check-raise on the flop sounds a lot like 2-pair. I don't see how pocket queens would not raise preflop. Pocket nines are the only other hand that...

Re: Anyone go for the C/R when you\'re the PFR?
The check-raise is FPS where it doesn't normally need to be applied. As others have said, you should get action here anyways. However, I think the check-raise isn't too bad in this specific...

Re: i\'m ultra paranoid..
Here are some poker stove numbers, with the SB having any hand with a queen, A8, A7, 87, 77, 88, and any OESD. Calling down to the river we need to put in 2.5 BB to win 7 BB and win 26% of the time...

Re: Table Selection

Re: anyway to extract more?
I think that making money with these hands is difficult. You are not normally going to get much action when you have crippled the board, so your slowplay line is pretty good IMO. You can try and...

Re: I always pay off
I think that many things work against the calldown here. You were UTG when you raised, an ace came out, the turn card did not complete any likely draw, and a generally passive opponent check-raised...

Re: Baby ace from the SB
I would complete here most every time. I would also consider raising PF if I knew the button was weak tight. I can't see how folding from the sb makes sense when the button's open-limp basically...

Results
SB showed Q8 with no spade and MHIG. This hand confirmed his LAGGY status for me. I felt at the time that there was a good chance I was ahead still on the river, but that I didn't think I would get...

Re: boring?
Calling the turn raise without a read is a tough one for me. I don't like that the sb cold called two on the flop and then check raised a nothing card on the turn. It doesn't seem like any kind of...

Re: AKo vs. flop c/r
I also like the turn raise. I can't give him much credit for the flush HU and if he has a lone diamond then you will likely get more value in raising the turn rather than waiting for the river.
