Default Re: Tough spot 5/10 JJ

[ QUOTE ]
AA - 6
KK - 3
QQ - 6
JJ - 1
TT - 3
99 - 1
AK - 12
AQ - 16 discounted to 8 since most don't 3-bet and would have a hard time calling the flop

Ahead of 8 behind 31. 31:8 ~= 4:1. So, check/fold, in fact, on the turn.

I'm not sure we should discount AQ that much, but in any case TT is 6 combos we're beating on the turn instead of 3 we're losing to. Which changes the ratio to 28:14, at that point.

Again, in that case we're only getting 10.5:2 to call down and AQ/TT have to be discounted if the turn goes check/bet.

For some reason, I only had the first three responses (including my erroneous initial one) in front of me.

Uh, I don't know. I think it's close.

I've been seeing a fair amount of 3-betting with AQ lately. I don't know how often that hand is getting folded instead, though.

I know it's a crappy flop for AQ, but I can imagine someone peeling with it on the flop. But, yeah, I think we need to discount it. I mean, it shouldn't be easy for Villain to peel with AQ on that flop, versus a preflop capper.

How often will a 5/10 unknown bluff AQ if checked to on the turn? I'm not sure. Certainly not always. Hero has represented a big hand.

I'd rather not give a 6-outer a free look at the river and would probably bet-fold. (And I do think if Villain holds AQ and peeled on the flop with it, he'll most likely fold it now.) But I'm not at all sure bet-folding is best.

We are probably behind, and the chances of this do go up if we check and Villain bets. So I think you make a good case for a turn check-fold.
