Preflop: Hero is MP3 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
4 folds, MP2 raises, Hero 3-bets, 4 folds, MP2 calls.

Flop: (7.33 SB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
MP2 checks, Hero bets, MP2 calls.

Turn: (4.66 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
MP2 checks, Hero bets, MP2 raises, Hero....

What is my move? What is the likely range of hands MP2 could have? Thanks,

Krishan

its hard to do that without a read, but theres a good chance one of you is drawing to 2 outs (unless villain has TT). I call this raise, and do varying things depending on what the river is.

Why did you 3-bet with AQs PF?

Joshua,

I don't like to call when I have position. I think I get a lot of advantages from 3-betting when the flop is all rags. Would you fold this preflop? I think AQs is more than enough to call and with position I prefer a raise.

This is one of the few hands I cold-call with. I could be wrong about it though. Is anyone else 3-betting here preflop?

I am, as I expect AK to cap.

What to do with AQs PF after a raise is debateable, but this situation is not. PFR is opening from MP3 and unless his PFR is under 5 I'm 3-betting here everytime.

This is also a valid point I hadn't brought up. He probably has looser raising standards from MP. I took this into account when I 3-bet.

I agree with the others. AQs fares pretty well against the range of open raising hands for a 25/10 opponent from MP2. I 3-bet.

I think the most likely are AQ and AJ. Maybe TT. I 3-bet here and call down if capped.
