top pair on a monotone board on a \"steal\"
Stars $55. Almost 2 hours in, blinds are 100/200.
My stack is 6500 and I'm doing well. Villian in the BB has 10k and is about 10th place. I raise in MP3 w/ AQo to 600. Villian calls. Not much of a read on him. Last hand he limped UTG and I raised to 4xbb w/ AK and he folded. He calls and the flop is A T 6, all hearts. I don't have the Q of hearts. He bets out 800. What the hell do I do? |

I hate these spots but I would call and see what he does on turn. this might be the wrong line because you arent gaining much info but raising this flop will be very costly

Re: top pair on a monotone board on a \"steal\"
I'd just call.. hoping to freeze his action. Any meaningful raise is 1/3 of hero's stack... and as a firm believer in retaining leverage, Id prefer not to put that much into the pot too soon.
see if the call slows him down, and re-evaluate on the turn. (if he has a naked heart.. he will be a lot less willing to get it all in on the turn rather then the flop, so if you are going to move on the pot.. a safe turn card seems the most viable) |

Re: top pair on a monotone board on a \"steal\"
Just a quick bump if any has any more advice.. What if I call the turn and he bets out 2/3rds the pot?
I butchered this hand in reality. Sometimes when I'm lost all I can do is raise and it really killed me.. this is a hand I'm destined to lose a lot of chips on right? |

Re: top pair on a monotone board on a \"steal\"
if he flopped the flush yes, you'll lose a lot of money here
call the flop bet, go over the top on a non-king, non-heart turn card his betting SCREAMS lone heart or qj/qt - he probably check-raises flush |
