Any comments on how I played it out? I had to start betting the turn as some draws starting being exposed.

No reads on BTN I'm assuming...usually when you 3b preflop and check raise an A high flop, you're going to scare away most hands. I'd probably just lead flop.

i dont like your c/r on the flop when your the pf aggressor... looks too suspicious. Just do your standard cbet, you'll prolly get more action + it hides your hand.

sometimes they just dont have hands, nothign you can do about it

I thought he might of been on a steal, so a c/r would get me more money if he had nothing.

Don't plan to get more when he has nothing. Plan to take the lot when he has something.

yip, standard c-bet on flop is perfect. if u get raised call and c/r turn ai is a good play for value.

c/r'ing is showing u have a monster hand.
