50/100 party hand I was sweated on

i added more to my post.

anyway it's not a very good flop for hero. if a K comes will hero like it a lot? a Q? an A? a 9? this flop is pretty troublesome. what if hero bets each street until raised and then check-folds the next street barring improvement? oh he could bet-fold that turn as well. but let's say he bets the flop and gets raised, he can check-fold the turn. sometimes AK and AQ will take the free card there.

yes im pretty sure that's the way to play this. check-call, check-call just doesnt work here. either you find out youre ahead and make him pay (or put him to the test or give him a free card or whatever) or find out youre beat and dont chase when youre not sure what youre chasing for (classic reverse implied odds disaster time). but dont check-call thus representing AQ and letting him have his way with you. when you do that you have to call the river, and i think you can save a fraction of a bet in there somewhere when you find out youre beat earlier.
