Re: AQo, flop decision.
[ QUOTE ]
I raise the flop to try and get it HU. I fold to a 3-bet. I don't really like checking the turn as it encourages players to take a shot on the river. [/ QUOTE ] A turn check-raise would be very ugly, and I don't think a free showdown with ace high has much value here. I'd only bet the turn if I thought he might fold.

Don't we give this TAP credit for something here other than overcards? [/ QUOTE ] I think the most likely hand for TAP to have been betting the flop with was a medium pocket pair. He would only be likely to have trip 8's, if he had played a hand like A8(s), and I think its unlikely that he would have played a hand with a 3 in it.

Re: AQo, flop decision.
I think a call here is standard.

Re: AQo, flop decision.
I'd raise. Calling is bad since by raising you can increase your winning chances by getting other players out. Folding is out of the question since the pot is quite big.
I was just re-reading the "Playing overcards" section on SSHE and there's an example which is very similar to this. One important point that is emphasized is that the board being paired reduced the possibility that the flop paired other players - thus a raise on the flop may drive them away and increase your winning chances.
