3/6: Call-CR Blind Defense with AQ

[imported_leader]

I haven't seen much from UTG. He's a bit LAGy so far.

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

This thread is not intended to be a debate on the merits of the call-CR strategy of blind defense. It assumes the strategy is neutral EV vs 3-betting and leading the flop. It's meant to discuss the post flop effects of this strategy and how to properly play post flop given the PF action. There is an extensive discussion of the merits of this strategy here: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showfl...e=2#Post4225972

Flop: (4.33 SB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

I'm behind kq?

[gehrig]

youre behind a range of AQ-KQ, AA-QQ, 99. i dont think one pair raises u on the turn all that often either

[Blunderfull1]

I wouldnt be too happy when he raises the turn. You capped the flop and he still isnt slowing down. I guess he could have KQ, but there isnt much else that we can beat. I wouldve called down after the turn raise.

I'd slow down a bit unless I had a read that he's way agg. with less than tp. He's betting like he doesn't care you have a queen. KQ's gonna slow down on the turn after you cap and lead so why three-bet the turn?
