Default Re: Confused with Aces and Queens, 2 hands PP .5/1

Hi acousticaces. Welcome to the forum.

Hand 1 I call down when bet into on the turn. I don't love our chances of being ahead when he donks but the pot is large enough that I think we're justified seeing a showdown with our overpair. Sometimes we improve and win -- that could be as little as counterfeiting his top 2. It's also not inconceivable that we win UI.

Hand 2 I call down too. .6 isn't super passive with a 59% VPIP if he's seeing a lot of showdowns. It's entirely possible that he thinks a Q or 4 is good or is semibluffing a flush draw or just taking a shot. If we know he doesn't raise without a very strong hand I can lay down, but I want more than tentative numbers. This hand will hopefully help me (in the context of his play as a whole) decide what to do next time he raises the turn on me, which is not unimportant info given the relatively likelihood of the situation arising given his high VPIP and your presumed reasonable aggression. However, I think it's close enough that a turn fold wouldn't be bad.
