another river bet/fold (WA/WB)

looks good to me

hmmm. what hand range calls two cold, then calls two more cold, then raises that flop?

superpassivity followed up by aggression.

It doesnt look like that's a freecard play. My money's on him either being a fish with a piece of the board, or a WPT wannabe with QQ-AA.

When that turn bet comes, what are we beating here?

I'd guess that he's got AQ, A5, or a very passive QQ here. If he had a blank queen, wouldn't hero's river bet when the ace hit be scary and he would just flat call? Maybe I'm thinking too deeply into it.

With this in mind, definite river fold. I'm not even sure I would be betting once the ace hit, you're behind nearly everything now.

Agreed. I might just c/f that river.

just check/fold the river. if he's got 99/TT just let him have this one, way too many hands have you smoked.

I like the river, I don't like flop or turn. I think 3-bet flop or bet turn and fold to a raise. River is good because you may scare an A? Pot is probably too big.

I don't think I would have called down after his turn bet. I think he may have checked through the turn often enough to call the flop just on a steal?

True

[gehrig]

well played

Now why would you not fold the flop? What else does this guy have? Your done.

Think if it this way. Lets say he had 88. PF 3 better bets, 88 raises the flop (maybe he has AK?), PF 3 better calls.... turn is a dud, PF 3 better checks, 88 bets...

How many of you WOULDNT bet 88 here that way?

Then again who would just cold call 2 with 77-TT here? I don't think anyone of us would, I wouldnt. So you can make this assumption of Mr. Unknown. If he is a TAG he is probably reraising with 77-TT, AQ preflop not cold calling. Since he cold called we are looking at a more passive player, thus he called with AQ or A5 fearing AA, AK, KK. He raised the flop like a good average player. "wow Mr. 3 better paused then just called I got him". Why wouldnt he bet again. If he had 77-88 and "just cold called" he would tend to call down the bets since it is quite possible in his scared little mind the 3 better had AA or KK.
