Ugh. Bet more on flop. Shove turn.

River call is fine as played.

[miw210]

Bet a lot more flop.

[slickss]

Bet more on flop, close to pot. Bet on turn. It is likely that he is just drawing here, or your could get more money out of his AQ.

[Thremp]

slick,

WTF? At most he's drawing to 7 outs.

A couple have said to bet more on the flop, but you bet $12 into a $13.75 pot. I prob do much the same. Why did you check behind on the turn?

First of all the pot is not 13.75, it says 20.

Second, I don't think the flop bet is terrible. I probably would have bet a little bit more though around 14-15. There is really no reason to pot the flop in a reraised pot on this dry of a board. That river bet is really weak, I would be tempted to push, but with no reads I'm not sure if he just calls us with a lone Q here.

I knew there was a reason I was staying off the tables with this headache! Yes. . . the pot was $20. I guess I would have to agree that I woulda bet this flop a little more, prob in the $16-17ish range. I missed a call when I first looked at the hand and added up the bets as oppossed to looking at what the converter had right in front of me. I made a good choice in not playing tonight.

You are ahead, get the money in as soon as possible. As played, folding the river would be a cardinal sin. If you are inducing bluffs/value bets from weaker hands, you have to call.

[kabouter]

River seems like a blocking bet to me? Just to see if his AQ is good?

[BobAllinSki]

Anyone like a check flop pot turn &amp; river line as a variation? AQ pays this off every time, plus a lot of pocket pairs.

as played I think the flop bet is a little to small but once called I dont mind the turn check as long as the intention is to make a reasonable bet on the river, the river blocking bet is a bitch and this is one of the few spots where it is effective but you cant raise this.

Don't you guys think it was suspicious that villain cold called a 3bet PF, then called my cbet on the flop with 1 to act after him?
