Hi,

Don't think my line is optimal here. The sample is small on villain, 31 hands, and the other is an unknown.

Should I be more inclined to raise two pairs in a multiway pot on this relatively dry flop? Or check

As played, against a apparent nit, what is my best play on the turn? Should I raise like a did?

I felt committed after his raise, but I failed to see what a nit would raise here that I beat. But am I at the top of my range and folding seems weak.

thanks for the help!

I think this whole hand is played fine. I do think we will have 99, 88 and JTs for the top of our range here but still don't think we can fold AQ. I may run this through a calc later and see for sure. May be a spot we can make a tight fold but hard to say.

Can we get some stats?

Ok thanks! Good to hear my line is fine in your opinion.

As for the stats, he was opening 13/13 over the 31 hands sample, so it looks nitty but could be misleading. 100% cbet 4/4, nothing else interesting.

Ok so I looked a little deeper and it might just be a fold. What bluffs can he realistically have here? KsJs? Even with that in his range and him overplaying AsKs, it is a fold.


(UTG range)AA,QQ,99-88,AQs,JTs,AsKs,KsJs,AQo 78.21% vs our hand AhQs(21.79%) If he doesn't have AsKs, KsJs we only have 18.5%

We need 24% to call.

Pretty tough hand because our hand is just so middling on every street except the flop but I don't think raising flop is the best play.

Yeah, that's kind of the feeling I had calling this river, I felt I should have folded.

Raising flop indeed we would miss a ton of value.

Thanks for the analysis, he showed up with JTo in EP, which isn't nitty by any means... and got lucky. Think I will stop playing zoom poker, without any reads, I tend to categorize everybody that isn't multitabling as a spew monkey capable of shoving ak or 89 here. That's my biggest problem, I often don't give enough credit.

I like calling the turn or raising the flop. Its not terrible the line you took though.

Looks standard to me. If he can have JT then he can also have all the other 2 pair combos A9 A8 Q8 Q9 89 (mostly suited) you could also be chopping and weaker players will go silly with AK here, throw in a few flush/pair combos picked up on the turn as well and it gets even better.
