  2. I personally would've put Sara on a set at this point. Probably 4's. Bottom set most people would probably play a little more aggressively. I don't see what else she could possibly have in that situation. QQ seems unlikely as she probably would've tried to isolate preflop. I don't see 2 pair in there. AQ is possible but I don't see how she could 3 bet the turn with AQ.
     
  3. looks like a set to me.....unless she is some sort of donk
  4. I think her play is right online for a set or a stone cold bluff, The reason being, most players would check/raise you on the flop with TPTK. The fact that she calls the flop, then leads out on the turn when a seeminglessly random 8 falls is kind of weird. I have noticed that when players do that, they are usually weak. It looks like she calls your what looked to be a cont bet on the flop, then lead out on the turn, assuming you were weak. I guess she could have called pre-flop w/33 or 44, you would have to know if she is capable of calling a raise with those type of hands, knowing she would be out of position the rest of the hand. IMO, she has a set or absolutely nothing.

    This is how I would play the following hands:

    AQs/o or KQs/o: I would most likely check/raise you on the flop. There are times however, when I would check/call the flop and then check/raise you on the turn. I would only check/call you on the flop, looking to check/raise you on the turn, if I knew you were capable of firing two bullets. If I didn't think you were, I would just check/raise you on the flop.

    333 or 444: Check/call the flop. If there were draws out there, I would be more inclined to bet, but that flop is safe. The turn brought 2 clubs, so I would either bet out or check/raise. I would bet out 70%-80% of the time and check/raise 20%-30% of the time. This would depend on my opponent and my image.

    Bluff: I would check/call you on the flop, then probably lead out on the turn or check/raise you on the turn.

    If you look at how I would play all 3 hands, I would play them pretty similarly. That is scary for you. It's tough to fold KK to a Q high, non-str8 or non-flush board at a 200NL game. The reason being, most players would play AQ like it was the nuts in a spot like this. In the end it would depend on what I thought of my opponent. If I thought she was a fish, who overvalued top pair, I would call with the KK. If I respected her game and knew she wouldn't go broke with just 1 pair, I would fold the KK. It all comes down to your opponent in a situation like this.
  5. Well I called, was way behind, and sucked out.

    Normally I would fold in this spot but I had never seen her before and the only reason I decided she was a bad player is because she posted blinds out of turn. I normally associate that with the player being a fish.

    Thanks for the response as well Celts Fan.
