villain in this hand has been playing fairly tight, she is a middle aged asian woman, who seems to be friendly and know all the players at the table. no other info on her other than i haven't really seen her play any hands in the first hour that i can remember

Hero dealt As4d

Preflop:
utg limp, mp limp, btn limp, sb fold, Hero check

Flop:

Turn:

hero bet, utg raise, mp fold, hero?

Hmm, if the villain is pretty tight and passive, you're usually not getting raised on the turn with less than two pair. Given the fact she is tight, limped utg, and that's a scary board, the only two hands I can see you beating here are KJ and AQ.

I know live poker is frustrating, but man I really hate telling you to bet/fold everytime. I hope somebody corrects my thought processes (and that you also scooped a few pots during this session!).

She's going to have to show me that she's only popping the nuts on the turn before a bet/fold this turn. I think b/c, c/c every time.

my first thought was to check the flop.

and plan on check calling down vs utg?

and lets assume we call the turn and the river is a King, we check, villain bets, we still call bcause now we chop AJ and AQ?

yeah i guess i just like checking to see what happens -- we can get info from the other players' actions before it gets back to us. we might also induce a bet from a hopeless hand whereas if we bet then that hand would fold

if i checked and there were only one bet back to me, yeah i would check/call and re-evaluate the turn

when we make our two pair on the turn would you be looking to c/r?

I would have check/call flop and CR this turn.

As played, I would call turn raise. She could have a worse two pair, maybe a good Ace, or a straight in which case you have outs to improve.

I also check the flop. As played folding is ridiculous so I'd just call down but expect to lose.
