getting Too Fancy in the 3/6?
Stats in MP1 are 14/11/155 hands, so a right TAG.
When he caps preflop and raisies me on the flop I have to put him on AA-JJ, with AK and TT both possible but less likely. When the ace comes on frouth this obviously decreases the chances that he has aces. My check raise on the turn was meant to fold his most likely hand that beats me KK, as I felt that given my play an ace is a likely holding for me. So is this just way too fancy, or a decent move, what other options are there on fourth? Check-calling the turn and river seems optomistic as I'm only ahead of JJ. So either some sort of stop and go or a puny check/fold.

3-bet the flop if you don't feel good about things. leave the turn alone if u couldn't 3-bet the flop.
use your range of hands to estimate the frequency he has KK and QQ as well as the frequency he has something else. then estimate what you earn if KK and QQ always bet this turn (a good player shouldn't) and folds to your check-raise and also estimate what you lose to all the better hands that don't fold to the turn check-raise and compare. the total should be a red number. in other words the turn is bad |

Maybe it's weak, but I think this is a good situation to get passive awhen OOP against a TAG, despite having an overpair. I would check-call the flop and bet-fold the Ace turn card. I doubt he raises with a worse hand on the turn because he will fear a 3-bet and he probably just wants a showdown with JJ-KK if you lead the turn.

I like the move----gains information-----his flop raise could mean AA, KK, AK, or JJ. Since you ID him as TAG, I fold to a reraise. If he calls, bet the river.

You should normally only bet/raise to 'gain information' on the cheaper streets (PF/Flop). Why spend 2BBs to gain information if you might fold when you could spend that same 2BBs by check-calling the turn/river, which will get you 100% ironclad information with a showdown? |

Sorry to waste all that space, now I'm going to use more. I don't understand what you mean. If he reraises, the A didn't hurt him----that's information. If he calls, he doesn't have AA (or probably AK), which leaves KK as the only better hand he could have----that's information. If he folds, you win the pot and feel very smart. I do like Spydog's point that this could be and expensive move on the turn-----leading the turn with a bet might be good enough.

Re: getting Too Fancy in the 3/6?
think about how likely each one of thsoe hands are mathematically, and what each one of them does if you raise, and why, in light of opponents range of hands check-raise is superior to bet, chekc-call and check-fold? I/m not trying to be a jerk but trying to encourage you to think for yourself

I also felt like if I was ahead, my turn c/r would fold him, which couldn't hurt, and if I'm 3-bet I can fold there, costing same no. of bets as if I'd called down on turn and river.
