fold pre for sure. Ace hit's his range hard so I'd raise to about 7.50(hoping he'll shove over you) or shove yourself. You will occasionally run into bigger sets im afraid.

I say raise in this spot. The ace probably hit his range and even if it didn't and he had the queen or a flush draw and you just call, your not going to get any value on the river, he'll probably just check/fold it to you. If you raise and he hit the ace he might reshove over you or if he has the flush draw he'll probably chase it instead of again check/folding the river. Theres also the possibility of him having a higher set qq, aa are in his range but if you think your good then I say raise.

I almost folded pre but we both had big stacks so I saw a flop

Fwiw I think calling the 3bet is OK 160bb deep to set mine. I would have probably raised the flop though. As played I make it $9 on the turn and pray he's not holding KK.

Call the turn, raising accomplishes little.

So you waiting to "pop em on the river"?

I would of raised the flop unless I knew he was prone to bluffing. I think once the A comes you have to float again. Raising it is probably way too strong.

Since there's a lot of air in his range when he bets this turn, and there's no real draws we're afraid of, why not? You think he's more likely to call a baluga raise wider than if we shove the river? Plus we don't need to raise to get stacks in, he'll have $11 behind an $11 pot.

I just wanted to use the pop em on the river line. I think flatting the turn is probably better than the raise I recommended actually. If he checks the river what's your river bet size?

From BBs bet sizes so far in the hand, I dont think he is playing for stacks so if he checks I dont think we can go crazy, I think we have to make it 1/2 pot ish

I'm putting him in. I like money.

I ended up pushing after his turn bet hoping he had ak or aq. He folded

Hillbilly u said would have raise flop? To how much? Ur not worried he might have AK and would just fold right there?

Min Raise

A min raise on the turn has him nicely pot committed. He will probably realize this and do the rest of your betting for you. Would not wait until the river to pop him up because he might be able to get away from his hands after he realizes he has no outs. At least on the turn he still has hope of one card to come...LizaBuv
