Good hand against good player

[jgorham]

While I think he would cap AK, KK and QQ most of the time, I feel that AK caps significantly more than the other two hands.

do you think he thinks you can beat a king. I would not . Hence if I had one or AQ I would bet. would you check KJ or AQ with this action.

I am not calling the flop and turn with any hands worse than AQ. And with AQ I am probably raising the turn. If he is ahead of me still (with just a pair) it is because I have AJ - and I am certainly not calling a bet on the end with that hand. Yet he still bets into me. I think the only hands he plays this way are AK, KQ, and 77. But since he didn't cap preflop, I think AK is less likely.

I really don't think a good player checkraises another TAG on that flop with KJ, KT, or AQ. These are all hands that want to get to a showdown cheaply, and not scare me out if I have a pocket pair less than Q's. And if they do c/r that flop for whatever reason, I don't think they fire again on the river.

john_feeney is NOT one of the top winners in that game. he's weak and just recently started playing it

[sthief09]

you're outthinking yourself.

[Sandstone]

This is really, really weak.

Just because someone is a good player doesn't mean they flop top two every hand.

Raise that turn like a mother fucker.

[jgorham]

How you would play KJ on this board SThief? (not that i don't believe you a bout outthinking myself, just curious)

Raise the river.

So what hand pays off on the river? I think most good players can find a fold here with AQ/KJ type hands. I'd rather raise the turn, but given that you didn't, I don't see much value in a river raise.

Agreed. This is the perfect hand to wait till the river to raise.
