So I either take pats line and bet half pot planning to shove to a raise, or I check and see if I can see a cheap turn card. Really depends on how aggressive the villain to your left is going to be. If you think he is likely to check behind then try to get a free turn card. |
The villain moved for position. Most likely he likes to be aggr, but is not ballsy enough to 3bet or push light, so having to lead every hand took him out of his comfort zone.
No way he's folding a big Ace. I think he will likely bet if you check. Since he was going to raise but didn't, I would weigh mid pairs and AQ/AJ/AT a little more than AK or AA-QQ.
If you lead for $40, the pot'll be $105 to him. A pot sized raise from him would be $145. With both a 9 and T on the flop (mid pairs) and an Ace (AQ/J/T), it is dangerous to give him a chance to raise.
I'd check. He may or may not pot. Depending on the bet size, I'd call it and see what the turn brings.
