Hopefully visibly closing our eyes and praying at the  table while he stares us down doesn"t encourage him to call with his middle pair  ???

I"d like to think we could keep it to metaphorical closing of the eyes and praying :)

Not played live poker much recently but I"m not 3bet calling AQ for this much against an old guy opening 3x+ from UTG without a really good reason. As played the 3bet size should either be much smaller (say 23k) or you should jam. Personally I may flat this but folding pre is also fine.

This does depend on any specific reads though, if he doesn"t cbet frequently then flatting pre is probably best

deanp27:
Pot is so big I think you have to pile the flop now and hope he folds tens face up

I probably stick it in his eye pre Dave, but as played Nowt wrong with your move at all and I would always be doing the same in that situation. Remember, people only hit the flop 1in3 and if he has an underpaid to the king he might very well be folding.

Don"t be too down on yourself for the results this weekend mate, it happens, you have realised you made a couple mistakes and you are good enough to learn from it and move on to bigger and better things :) x

Thanks for the input thus far

"expecting a fold" came from his comment a hand or two before when he expressed a desire to "not get involved with the bigger stacks"

I didn"t jam because...

I prefer not to open-jam a c30BB stack over a single raiser - this may be wrong-headed, and contrary to my plan to call if he shoves, but maybe not. I have made the move in the past and on other days may do so again. This time the raise seemed a better idea.

It all became interesting when he flats though - does anyone have any idea what his range might be?
