I agree with the others. AQs fares pretty well against the range of open raising hands for a 25/10 opponent from MP2. I 3-bet.

I would probably put him on AT or a slowplayed set of tens. If he doesn't have a strong Ace or a set, I don't see him raising this turn. When you 3-bet preflop, he would likely be thinking you do have an Ace.

What about, TT-KK?

This would be an idiotic way to play JJ-KK. Call when your ahead on a cheap street. CR on an expensive street when you are behind.

Given hero's preflop 3-bet, villain has to be worried about an Ace if he has QQ or KK. Most players would raise the flop in the hope that hero will fold his overcards, right?

If he does have QQ or KK, why would villain raise the turn when an Ace comes, especially when hero leads out again?

Reread the thread. We are talking about what villain thinks hero has.

Villian had ATo. I think I have to fold to the cap or call down the turn CR.

3-betting this turn would be bad. If we assume villain has AK-AJ and TT you're ahead of 8 combos of AJ, chopping with 6 combos of AQ and losing to 17 combos of AK/AT/TT. If he has KK/QQ/JJ he's most likely folding if you 3-bet.

At least somebody finally thought about the combinations of hands we're ahead of vs. behind and what hands we may not want to raise that we are ahead of. Thank you bakku.
