Re: Turn play
[ QUOTE ]
You open raise from the cutoff with AJs. Folded to the sb (23/15/2.5), who 3-bets. You call.
Flop comes K-high 2 of your suit. sb bets, you raise, sb calls.
Turn is an ace. sb checks. What's your preferred play?
a). Bet and call a check/raise if it comes.
b). Bet and 3-bet a check/raise if it comes.
c). Check and call (or bet) the river.

15% PFR for Villain? Hrm...he could be raising with many, many hands from the SB. Especially if he's defending against what he thinks is a blind steal. I like option "a." You're ahead way too often for me to like "c," unless you think checking will induce a bet (or a check-call) from Villain on the end, whereas he may check-fold the turn. I don't like "b." If he's check-raising you here, you probably need to catch up. What if he 4-bets your 3-bet? Now you still need to see the river to try to make your flush, but if you miss, folding is almost certainly correct. Yet the pot is now ginormous. This feels icky.
So, all things considered, I bet and call a check/raise. I then call any river. But if his AF were smaller, I'd probably throw this hand away to a river bet (provided I don't hit my flush, d-uh).
