value vs pot control

[Vincent Lepore]

A classic problem with A,Q. What to do, what to do? You would like to win the pot but don't want to lose a lot. Precisiely the problem when calling a raise out of position with A,Q. Unfortunately you were priced in preflop so your call is ok but still close. I'd rather have the 7s,6s in your position but that's me.

So how do you play the hand trying to win the pot and at the same time not lose a lot on the hand. Well---the way you played it.

It looks like villain checks behind.

I like your line etizzle, I assume u are folding to almost all river raises.

Given these's lines
1.(Hero's) check-call 2x, block-lead river
2.Lead turn, check-call river.
3.Lead turn, lead river.

I go with line 3 mostly. 2 sometimes depending on villain's hyper-ness on river.
