Should I have 4BET with my position and being 175BB deep? As played should I raise the flop? As played should I fold the turn? I feel like I played this hand badly and my only option is to fold because unless he's bluffing I'm not beating anything. I put him on QQ+,AK when he bets the turn but maybe a flop raise would be appropriate to figure where I am at?

i don't much experience playing deep stack but i think calling him down is fine.

Ok, thanks. Any other opinions on this hand?

[a500lbgorilla]

i would call, i wouldn't always assume I'm calling the river.

donking that flop with a hand better than AK just doesn't make any sense unless you think op likes to run lines where the logic is, "guy had AA or AK so he'll never fold!"

I think as played I'm going to let him keep value towning himself to death with his KQ or KJ or we split w/ AK. If he shows up with AA or KK, gross but meh.

If you raise the flop you force him to define his range more I guess, he won't likely continue without AK or better. You lose alot of value there I think.

4betting preflop out of position might have been fun. :P

We're behind KQ and I'd include QQ in his range. Looks more like either a split or we're behind if he's gonna bet 3 streets.

hmm, misread the board. that could present a problem :P

So at some point do we want to raise? or do we keep putting moneys in the pot out of position with a good but not nuts hand without any real idea where we are?

We actually have position in this hand.

I'm confused, if it was he who made the 3BET and I just called in position, is it still considered donking the flop when he leads?
Maybe he's putting me on a draw when he bets the turn, something like AhTh, Ah,Jh, AhQh. So if a flush or straight card comes off on the river or even if a blank comes off and he checks, what's my action?

holy crap, apparently I can't read a non-converted HH. ugghh
