How many bets does he have?

I don't think he'd cap the flop with AQ. I'd give this 5 or 6 bets at least. He much more likely has an overplayed AK or, ideally, JJ.

I say you should probably be 5-betting and calling a 6 bet. Villain's pre-flop and flop action is much more consistent with JJ than with AQ here, but I simply don't see villain taking this to 6 bets with JJ or TT here, considering that he slowed down after the turn check-raise and those hands are only third and fourth nuts.

If you get 6 bet, you should probably just call and expect to lose. If villain calls your five bet, you're money.

I would 7-bet and call an 8-bet. Hell make it 9-bets.

Hey WD, it's 3-handed so I think TT and JJ become more likely. He also said the dude was "uber" aggressive.

I have no idea how to answer this question but "lots" comes to mind.

I just saw the "uber" part... I guess I'd say maybe go 7 bets and call an 8 bet, then. I think more than that is probably too much, though.

My real thought, though, is that most of the time our hero's five bet is just going to get called anyway.

Villain's aggressiveness actually makes me somewhat hesitant to get too frisky (like 9 or 11 bets), since it makes it much more likely, in my opinion, that he has AQ since only very aggressive opponents would play AQ in that fashion on the first two streets.

The other major point to remember is that every raise is really risking two bets to win less than two, particularly as we get to more and more bets and villain becomes less likely to raise with anything we're beating.

Thank you, I plan on 3 days of drunken debauchery.

Anyone wanna start a Laggy 2+2 table?
