You can actually minraise the turn also to freeze him up, then evaluate if you want to value bet the river if he calls.

Hmmm... this is an idea, but the problem w/ it IMO is that bloats the pot and gives him odds to draw with an OESD if that is what he infact has.

Good post cormia. I think he'd be much more likely to minraise something like AK or 98 then AT, but that's just a guess. Reraising preflop is definitely my standard play here, I just wasn't sure what to make of the minraise so I opted to play cautiously.

River is closer than I thought, but the fact that he has NO clue you have trips makes me think call

I really thing he knows where I'm at in this hand on the river. He might not know how good my kicker is, but he probably knows that I have at least an ace.

I actually like the turn call. Obviously, also call the river.

I really don't see anything other than A/rag that I'm beating by the river, and I really don't think A-rag comes out firing $50 on the river.

It highly depends on your read on this opponent especially what his bet size means.
Without a read, I think pot bet on all street is at least an ace. You are ahead some behind some.
I also like a turn min raise. I like the call more if he is speeding. But if he is good, you have to define your hand at one point.

you will see a pocket pair alot here in my experience, something like 88/99 that decides he might be good when the 2nd A hits. ties in with the min raise pf as well. when you call the turn he prolly puts you on some sort of A an trys to get you off it on the river.

the interesting thing is if you call with AQ you should prolly be calling with any A. i dont think he bets that big with a weak A on the river. i think you will either see JJ or a a pair that has missed.

does he think your capable of laying down a weak Axs? i would prolly call, i think your good 50% of the time which is enough.

edit: hmmm KQ/78 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] also got there on the river and also tie in with the action. maybe its closer than i thought. tough hand......

Very aggressive postflop, capable of raising weak beats w/ out a hand.

Sounds like you're beating a bluff too.
