I put him squarely on AA, AK, KK or 77 and fold.

Honestly, if you fold every time somebody checks the flop then bluff checkraises you all in on the turn HU anywhere outside the WPT, I'm reasonably sure you're going to lose about the same number of chips as when you misplay quads. It just doesn't happen much, and if he's tricky enough to bluff this way he deserves the pot.

I disagree, I think you will be c-raise bluffed on the turn much more than you will have a monster check to you twice.

Then again that might be because last night I made a sick call with A high against a guy who c-raise bluffed the turn [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img].

My sentiments exactly. It makes it hard because of the check/check flop, but still, villians raise looks like some extreme strength to me.

Why wouldn't he bet the turn if he's going for the steal? Why do this after the hero has put in a healthy turn bet?

Well, I called... I thought it was easy, but something in the back of my brain kept saying 'Don't call!!'. He shows AK, and a river Queen saves my tournament. He's on tilt and goes out before the money... I almost felt bad for him.

I think there was some kind of tell I picked up unconsciously [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

i kinda like how he played it. KQ is a pretty obvious hand to cold call on the button in that spot. Of course, I wouldn't have let the Q come on the river, but that's just me.
