Default How\'s my BB defence line? Standard? Or too tricky?

Straightforward opponent with straightforwards standards. If he 3-bet the river I would be able to laydown this hand

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, SB calls.

Flop: (6 SB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises</font>, Hero calls.

Turn: (5 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Would he cap preflop with AQ or AJ in a HU spot like this?

Haven't seen him play any HU Blind defence hands - so I don't know. But his game seemed standard everywhere else

Joker posted a river raise question yesterday. The consensus among the best posters was that an average player will call with a worse hand than top pair quite often and wont ever 3 bet with a worse hand. Villian, here, either has trips or a worse Ace. I don't employ this play with top pair yet, but I'm going to start especially if the feedback on your post is positive

I think it's close, but because of this statement, I like your play. The river K just counterfeited two pair combos A3 and A9. As long as you're reasonably certain he'll call your raise with a worse hand and not raise with trips here.

If you guys are going to start doing this, I'm going to start 3-betting trips and TPTK here. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

i think the river raise is wonderful. he pays off with any ace, he 3bets any K (and we can fold easily) and he never 3bets with a hand that we beat. AJ or AQ are possible however villian is most likely raising any A here in the SB and this A2-A9&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;AJ,AQ

we have position. so just calling or betting if checked to, i would assume. however, i might raise the river anyway.
