Default Re: Pokerroom is BS but how should i play this hand?

Checking sucks, because he checks behind with weaker hands and bets stronger ones. Check/folding TPTK on this board makes no sense to me, so you have to call if he bets anyway, and then you're completely lost for the rest of the hand anyway. So bet the turn.

If he raises and you're really confident in your read, then fold. Otherwise, call down.

You're a much better player than me, so i should probably know better than to just give the obvious answer (even if Eegah said it first and i was just agreeing with him and adding a standard "pattern mapper" joke), but you do sound abnormally cranky, so tilt is a possibility, no?

I'll also try this:

behind:
AA (3 combos)
KK (1 combo)
QQ (3 combos)

ahead:
JJ (6 combos)

split (but if he's weak-tight he might fold if you keep betting):
AK (6 combos)

So we're behind 7 and ahead of 6. It's close, so i would rather bet than check.

If you add TT or AQs to his 3-betting range, this improves our outlook.
