Felt like my opponent had a KK or QQ, possibly AK although less likely. Is making it 3 to go with TT preflop +EV?

[HentaiGaijin]

I say "less likely" because when the A comes on the flop, I think it's one less A my opponent had to make AK preflop, even though AK is more likely than say KK or QQ alone.

i think this was a good line.
Preflop the 3 bet is good I get scared with TT and usually just CC but it's something I'm working on. When that ace hits the flop I'm becomming a big baby because most raises are strong aces or pocket pairs bigger than yours. If he's a reasonable player the only hands you can put him on that your still ahead of is KJs (maybe), KQs, everythig else seems like it hit that flop or had you from the start. Fold to 3 bet is good.

Do you have a read on your opponent?

BTW I think given the action the flop can be peeled.

Yes. Over the 50 hands or so I've played at this table so far, he has been conservative. A few preflop raises. He probably raises good hands, but I don't know if its only tier 1 hands or possibly tier 1 and 2. 50 hands isn't much to draw a solid read on. So I think my fold was good, but wanted some outside opinions. TT and JJ are two hands I'm trying to improve my play on.

You can probably just fold this flop then. Other then something like K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] you're not ahead of that much of his range after he bets this flop.

What if he was a maniac. There's a guy at another table I'm at who has played a good 90 of 100 hands with plenty of greasy raises. Do you close your eyes and push back or call down?
