    bet much bigger on the flop, somewhere between 75-100% of the pot (at least 80-90p).

    yeah fold turn. I realise that what I suggested above will mean you lose more money on this particular hand. But for everytime the turn isn't an A it means you win more.

    think it's fine, board is dry you want a caller
    if your c-betting the same as when you hit TPGK then the sizing is fine
    turn bricks then bet pot

    as played i even fold this on turn, probs A5

    48p smells like pr but you are suited might aswel take it IP
    depends on player regarding range but I am looking 1010+

    If it was me, there's a good chance your behind because of the hands I'll re-raise a 4x bet with pre (AA,KK,QQ,AK,AQ). Most of the hands I re-raise you with, you are behind to.

    BUT I like to think I'm a fairly decent player at this level, so really you need to know if your opponent is a moron or not.

    exactly my thoughts, i know the textbook poker would probably say lay the hand down pre but am i really folding KQ suited everytime im 3 bet pre?

    No definitely not. Everytime he has AA (for instance) and your KQs goes on to make, 2pr, the straight, the flush, trips, you can often take his stack. Although you do need to be able to throw it away if the flop doesn't look great for you.

    Depends who 3bets as to the there range, some only 3 bet QQ+ - others 1010+
    Some even have lower ranges down to nothing
    If you have no notes then you have  to range QQ+ - follow the rule regard everyone as tight untill proven otherwise
    This guy is in the big blind and 3 bets to 48p.

    Table dynamics play a part, have you been raising his BB a lot.
    Has he picked up 66 and thought sod you, take that !!!

    More to it than just in isolation )

    LOL_RAISE sums this up above

    yh, this is tricky because the flop comes good for me to keep me intrested altho i could be miles behind to AA or AK, so if the A doesnt come and turns out he does have AK and he takes large part of my stack due to his kicker so i just take it as a cooler and feel fine about how i played it?
