Default Re: KQs -- does it matter what I do?

I'm surprised no one's mentioned KQ yet. there's 4 combinations of it left. I think this possibility could easily turn a b/f into a b/c. are you guys just assuming he caps the turn with KQ?

no, i do not think it is a value bet. he is a tight opponent who check raised on the turn (once it got expensive), and he raised preflop. i think you are beat, and i check and showdown.

You put him squarely on AA with that degree of confidence?

People with resonable numbers have been making all sorts of silly preflop calls like this recently, am I confused, or are they strictly awful?

Huh? You don't think he'd play AK exactly the same way? Thinking that you must be beat here is far too weak.

Is this preflop play standard against this type of opponent?

No bait. This is a completely different situation. This pot is likely to be heads ups, and we know a lot about villians PFR standards, so your domination point is very valid.

Of the options I think cold-calling is the worst of the three. Against an opponent with those kind of stats my decision would be based on his WTSD%, if he likes to hang on to his hands, i'm folding. If his WTSD% is low, i'm 3betting to take initiative, and more importantly see if he caps.
