BB defense w/A2o

Discussion on all streets welcome but lets try and focus on the turn and the implications for the river

10/20 Party full
Villain is average maybe 22/9/1.4 and open raises in CO. I defend with A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I check, bet, call

I like to defend with stuff that doesnt have an incredible chance of being dominated...but w/e

i bet the turn, because we might still be dominated and he might check the turn fearing he is now greatly behind with his non A hand.

I am check calling the turn. He is almost obligate to bet again. Also if he checks behind he is going to want to call a river lead withmany weaker hands to avoid having someone put a move on him.

If he bets and we call, I am checking most rivers to him as I really don't think he would call a river donk with a lot of hands. But I think he would value bet a PP or maybe fire again.

If the river was a K or Q I would be tempted to bet, as he would probably call with a pair of either.

I basically am trying to get two bets to go into the pot over the turn and river, because I think if 3-bets go in we are probably behind a dangerously high percentage of the time.

I'd prob check-call the turn. I think he'll take another stab at it since the board got so scary. You can either check-raise or check-call-bet. I don't know which I prefer.

I also would prob fold pre-flop.

I would check the turn fairly routinely against this opponent. There is also a lot of weight to be given for folding preflop.

1) He is CO.
2) There is only one other ace out there - doubt he has it.
3) The range of hands is large - he could have JT, KQ, 78s, etc.

I try to end this on the flop. If he wants to dance on the turn, I'll make him pay there too.

This is really really bad. Why do you want worse hands to fold?

Did you call on preflop too? If so, that's two calls: pf and flop. That's too weak. I would reraise pf and raise flop.
