    Default AQs vs 22

    This happens so often I'd really like discussion on this.

    One player has AQ/AK but misses the flop. The other has a low PP.

    If you are the first guy with AQ/AK, will you do a continuation bet, check-call, check-fold, or check-raise?
    If you are the guy with 22, when will you let it go? (assuming you did NOT hit trips!)

    I'd also like some feedback on the following HH. It's the above scenario but differs a little since I have a FD here after the flop.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (7 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Button (t1105)
    DaFish (t2880)
    BB (t1810)
    UTG (t1625)
    MP1 (t3180)
    MP2 (t1760)
    CO (t1140)

    Preflop: DaFish is SB with A, Q.
    3 folds, CO calls t50, 1 fold, DaFish raises to t200, 1 fold, CO calls t150.

    Flop: (t450) 9, T, 3 (2 players)
    DaFish bets t250, CO calls t250.

    Turn: (t950) K (2 players)
    DaFish checks, CO bets t350, DaFish calls t350.

    River: (t1650) 7 (2 players)
    DaFish checks, CO checks.

    Final Pot: t1650

    Results in white below:
    DaFish has Ad Qd (high card, ace).
    CO has 2d 2h (one pair, twos).
    Outcome: CO wins t1650.

    I'm firing another bullet on the King without a doubt for about t600. You'll win the pot there most times because the only reason why people call flops like this is usually with a pair and when someone enters a raised pot with a pair, they usualyy think their opponent has AK and vice-versa, so you can use this to your advantage. A lot of guys'll drop their AT, JT, 88-22 here. JJ or QQ would've re-raised PF or raised you on the flop as would a set with the diamonds out there. The King's a great card for you here.

    Depends on the format and structure etc but I agree with Alex, the King is great for you and you should be able to push of a big range of hands on the turn.

    Some donkey however can't be shaken whatever you do

    If I'm him, I would've raised you on the flop or call to bet/raise anything less than a Queen on the turn because you're playing this like AK or AQ.

    Thanks Alex, that makes sense. I was afraid of trips or any weak hands that hit a part of the flop.

    Note he could not reraise before the flop except all-in, since he didn't have that many chips. So a call with TT seems possible.

    whatever you di, don't check/call the turn. that is the most -EV play you can make.
    I get more ass than a toilet seat. All shapes/colors/sizes.

    I missed his stack. I think the only hand to fear is T9, but still he's pushing on the flop. Same goes for 33 and he's pushing PF with anything else I can think of including AT, KQ, KJ, KT.

    If I'm him I'd push or fold the flop, but probably fold the flop. If I'm you, I insta-push the flop.

    You're oozing with outs so I'm betting near pot every street. He should've been gone on the flop. You got screwed.
