Villain is 19/9/5.5 over 96 hands.

SB ($111)
Hero ($173.60)
UTG ($167)
MP1 ($25.30)
MP2 ($32.30)
CO ($79.70)
Button ($73.20)

Preflop: Hero is BB with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG raises to $4, 4 folds, SB calls $3.50, Hero calls $3.

Flop: ($12) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB checks, Hero checks to let him continuation bet since he's so aggressive, UTG bets $9, SB folds, Hero calls $9.

Turn: ($30) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets $15 thinking if he has AQ it may fold him, or I'll find out quick if he can beat a Q.

Is this kosher?

Lead the flop. It makes your turn decision a lot easier.

bizaff · #3 12-05-2005, 02:46 AM

Even though he's hugely aggressive and I know he'll continuation bet?

The problem is that this is a board that easily could have hit him and hit him harder than you, and it'll be really difficult to play the turn if you just chek/call here.

Ok, so I lead and fold to a raise?

PoBoy321 · #6 12-05-2005, 02:58 AM

That's my usual line. The only hand you're ahead of on the flop is AK and JJ, and your hand is very vulnerable, so you don't want to be left to any really hard decisions.

Okay, given what I did..

That looks alright as long as you can fold to a raise on the end.

Even a minraise?

ugh, getting like 6:1, I suppose you have to make the crying call, but don't expect to be $120 richer when the hand's over.
