This was only my third hand at the table and this villain is not known. But from the first two hands at the table he seemed aggressive.

I'd bet. The only better hand I can see him playing this way is maybe 66. You'll get calls from 44, 2's, and maybe even A-hi's.

i'll assume you bet and accidently deleted that part...

so i guessed he c/red. hmm. i put him on queen high so i'd 3bet. since this game is almost 6max he could be goin wild like a [censored] lagtard [censored] with a wide range of holdings... sry if u lost but u gotta pay the piper.

I think you have the best hand. If you don't, you have the best hand most of the time in this spot. He might not call you with A-high, so it's not like there's a ton of value in a river bet, but one plus is that when he folds he doesn't get to see your hand and he doesn't know you'll value bet 55 in situations like this.

Problem is, he could also have a hand like 66 or 88 and puts you on a 7. If so, checking behind obviously saves a bet. I sound like Nick C today, but I'm thinking a bet has more benefits than a check. Easy fold to an unlikely checkraise.

bet/fold. you win.

A high and 44 will call. a bunch of other junk will raise. if you can't fold to the raise, then check.

I hate hands like this. It seems like I'm shown 66, 88, or 99 so often in spots like these.

I don't see us getting raised here very often, nor do I see calling that raise as such a big mistake that it makes betting in the first place unprofitable.

Bet and fold to a c/r. A2 will pay you off.
