A7o Hand Nfinity and I Disagreed On

[Nfinity]

I played this hand twice today the same way against a more aggressive opponent.

When an aggressive opponent checks this Flop through the first thing on your mind has got to be slowroll. With this guys passive post-flop stats you can't be sure. Such low stats indicate he is checking and calling when he should be betting and raising, but is he not betting his KK here when he should be or is he not betting his AQ here when he should be?

With that in mind I bet the turn, fully expecting to be raised so I can fold and get on with my life.

If in the above situation the villian just calls the Turn, or like your example where you check/ Call the Turn [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
bet/ call is in order when you river the 2 pair. Your behind now to AQ, QQ and A8, one of which is not part of his pre-flop 3-betting routine.

When he raises, expect to lose, but a donkish AK or AJ will pull through a bunch here.

Screaming AQ YOU TRICKY BASTARD!! while you call is, of course, optional.
