UTG is a passive fish with half a stack. Button is Fidodell, who is a TAG regular and has $343 in his stack (I cover with $470). I think he must have just moved up from 100NL recently, because I only really remember him from that limit.


UTG limps, it folds to the button who raises to $9. I just call with . UTG calls.

First question: Would you 3-bet AQs when this deep? I think his range right now is really wide with him isolating the fish. If I 3-bet and he 4-bets, I have to fold. I figured I'd call and play poker.

Flop (Pot = $29)

I check, UTG Checks, Button bets $22

Would you raise here? If you do raise, and he re-raises, now what?

I just called, and UTG folded.

Turn (Pot = $73)

So now I have TPTK and a nut flush draw. I check again and he fires out $55. Raise now? Or would a call again be ok?

I like how you have played it so far and I would call again

I think I just call again because I don't know many hands that will call your reraise that you're ahead of. I'd ch/call most river bets.

Sounds good.

I did just end up calling.

River (Pot = $183)

I obvioulsy like this card. Check-raise or lead out? I'm thinking leading out may be best since it could look like a bluff. And he probably just checks behind any one pair hands. Plus, I think it would be hard for him to put me on the club flush

I dont think hes checking behind with any one pair hands that he bet the turn with. I mean he wouldnt of bet the flop and turn with a J..probably not KQ. Hes not checking behind on the riv with AQ+...

unless you've seen him push over a riv donk bet here with a missed fd or something I dont think its even close between c/r'ing and donking. c/r ftw imo
