QQ(kind of strange line)

I kind of thought. Meh I am going to extract the maximum vs this guy. Is it good to wait until the river to pop it? He was 36/8/2.5 so a bit LAG.

Keepitsimple, 3-bet the flop or c/r the turn.

I think I am too nice to him if I show full strenght on the flop. I could have CRd the turn though. Why do I do that btw instead of waiting to the river? Its not like he is drawing to something except for A or K. What about calling the turn and donkbet river?

I'm always a fan of getting a c/r in on the turn here. There are a lot of cards that will kill your action or make you afraid to c/r. I think that any hand that fold to your turn c/r is unlikely to bet the river as well.

Imo there arent many cards that will kill my action. The only cards that would do that is an A or K. This board is imo virtually drawless. I didnt put villain on AA,KK,AK since he didnt cap preflop so I think we are pretty good here. With that said I am beginning to lean towards a CR on the turn anyhow. I wouldnt want an A or K to fall on the river since there is a good possibility for KQ,AQ,AJ and such hands.

You actually have no idea what he's drawing to. What you DO know is that there are only 2 cards out of 46 that make YOUR hand better. Any of the other 44 could make his hand better, so, sure, wait until you can make him make a mistake by calling your raise, but then get it in there.

given read and drawless nature of the board: well played.

a LAG isn't checking behind top pair here and hopes to out bluff you on the river. a more "conservative" player: c/r the turn.

Yea I thought so too and he 3-bet me. Do I lay it down?

bet/call flop, bet/3-bet turn is the juice.

This is a fun line to bust out. If there's a lot of action and frequent turn raises then I like it a lot. However, it tends to freeze up a lot of even fairly lagtstic players. I want to know that Villain is capable of putting in multiple bets with TP or worse or that he's a thinking player in a situation where we appear likely to be putting out a probing bet and/or trying to prevent a free card.
