I fold the flop. He's saying he has AQ or better. By the way, you bet like a bitch. If you're going to bet the flop, at least make it a dollar.

Yeah, if you wanna see how to bet look at iopg's QQ hand he posted. Oh wait, you lost all your money on that one didn't you??

Shouldn't be an ass to someone after vomiting up chips like a drunk high schooler at prom with that QQ hand. Or at least don't post it.
You are an FTR station-pwn'ing badass motherf**ker. You have no pansyass, girly-girl, crybaby fears. Pwn the f**king stations like you know you ought to. And win some damn money, dammit.

Gotta have a plan before you act on the flop.

This is Poker Stars-- I'd expect to get played back at on a rainbow board like this when I raise in a steal position. Villain doesn't have to have you beat to do this with that stack of his-- he could have any PP, K, or a worse A than yours to do this (one of the benefits of playing a shortish stack, eh?). So leading the flop only gets worse hands to fold and doesn't define his hand, IMHO.

I'd rather plan to play for a small pot here and check behind on the flop for the free card. If you check behind, AK/AQ/AJ/AT/A6/66 start to worry about getting paid off and often lead out a very callable turn (give the bad micro players a chance to make a bad play!) with some $1-$1.75 bet. If it gives us a FD or 9-- call or raise. If it's a blank as in this case, well you could still call (it could be a K thinking he's ahead) and then see how much he wants to charge you for showdown. You've got position, after all! Use it! His flop CR effectively took position away from you, so watch out for these situations. If he leads the river big and your poker-sense is tingling, go ahead and fold (you got to see all 5 cards and you only paid $2.50 at most, versus having paid $3 to see the turn, bloated the pot, and lost control of the hand after the turn is dealt). If you think he's bad enough to overplay a K like this, that's up to you if you want to call a big river bet. But a lot of times, he leads smallish and you can call; sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind, but at least you didn't double him up when you were outflopped and you got to showdown a hand with some SD value. And sometimes we improve on the turn and can semibluff a nut FD.

I played a hand like this at 10NL last night. I'll post it when I get home.

Bet a tad more on the flop. 75c just isn't selling me that you have anything and you're not exactly pumping your fist when he plays back at you.

I like to check this flop behind with weak Aces a lot. I also like delayed c-betting this board against people who know/suspect I check weak Aces behind a lot.
