Cash game $2/$4.
Hero: ~$500 (HJ)
Villian: ~800 (SB). A tight aggressive reg.
2 limpers, Hero opened to $20 with AQo, BTN, SB and one MP called.
Flop A A 6 rainbow. Checked to Hero. Hero checked behind figuring he had the deck crushed and wanted to induce others to take a stab. BTN checked behind.
Turn 3. Board A A 6 3 still rainbow. SB checked, MP bet $52 and Hero smoothed. SB then check raised to $144. MP folded, back to Hero. ??
Hero obviously under-represented his hand but a check raise to a bet and a caller on such a dry board looked quite strong imo. AQ is obviously still beating a lot of hands but would the Villain do that with a worse ace? Would he do that with anything other than pocket 6s or pocket 3s? Is it a good spot to re-raise or just call and reevaluate.
Hero decided to call and river came a Queen so everything became straight forward. In retrospect, had the river came a blank and SB came out firing a huge bet, what should the Hero do? Would love to hear some comments on it. Many thanks in advance!
