villain is fishy like 70/35/1.5 over 60 hands. Hes min-3bet me like this twice and both times i came over the top to $6.50 and he folded. I have to assume hes doing it with not so great hands so i wanted to keep him in a pot for once. That was obviously a mistake, but as played what now?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

saw flop|saw showdown

SB ($19.35)
BB ($7.05)
Hero ($42.10)
MP ($13)
CO ($40.45)
Button ($17.65)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A, Q.
Hero raises to $1, 1 fold, CO raises to $2, 3 folds, Hero calls $1.

Flop: ($4.35) A, T, K (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $2, Hero raises to $7, CO raises to $12, Hero ???

reraise preflop


as played, you C/R him and he doesn't give a crap. I'm not saying that I fold this but when I call I'm probably folding a lot on the turn.

depending on how full of shit this guy is a push could be good too, but that's all game dependent

bleh, yeah i 4 bet pre first of all. as played, this is such a crappy board, but we are also playing a crappy player who just as easily could be doing this with AJ, KQ, KJ, Ax as he could AA, AK, KK, AT.

i like to make it 6 preflop, especially if we know he's making this raise w/ less than premium hands. 1 ...we have a non pair hand that wouldn't mind just winning the pot now, and 2 .... we want to make sure we aren't up against a monster, he will let us know if he 5bets.

this flop is one that can get pretty scary, i prefer to check/call as played because there pretty much isn't a hand he is raising that doesnt either have you crushed or A TON of equity against you. For your raise to be for value, you have to expect him to be raising w/ A9 and worse, I just don't see it. I want to try to get to showdown as cheaply and quickly as possible w/ this holding on a board like this. You do have the backdoor heart draw, plus the gutshot straight draw ... neither are very strong draws, but they are ways of catching the nuts and allowing you to win the pot. Put yourself in his shoes, if he's holding like AJ or AK or KJ here he's gonna wanna raise and get the money in ASAP most likely because of how scary the board is. don't let him do that w/ those holdings, try to keep the pot small.
