Weak bet by him on flop= set, weak raise by you=weak..turn I like, his call gets me confused...River is standard play at micros, none the less confusing. Knowing me Id call but you should prob fold, you cant expect a flush, not saying its not possible, but I would think he had a set and expects you to not have a flush as well.

Overall i would read a set, or str8 possible...FOLD

He beats you w/TT or AKd/AJd. Can't see him raising anything else UTG. Can't really see him with TT, either, given no 3-bet on the flop or turn. And I can't see him betting the flop with KJ. I don't like to draw conclusions about his underbetting the flop and turn--at uNL, you just get too many chronic underbetters. My gut tells me fold this, but I can't find a flush, set, or straight given the betting patterns. (Of course, what do betting patterns mean in .10/.25?)

Reraise preflop to about 2.50 from the button. Bigger raise on the flop. Turn is good. River is tough. I would probably fold. Don't be surprised to see AKd here that just ran into a flush. Could possibly be AA or QQ too. He's not raising much more than that UTG.

Preflop I reraise easily, if I'm truly frightened by his tightness fold, AQ is just a bad hand to cold call with.

As played. I'm going to raise the flop and turn a little more, leaving an easier call on the river regardless...

I usually put weak leads as draws, but he is a 4% pfr'er raising UTG so i don't see clubs here. Wouldn't be shocked to see 10, Q, or Aces tripped up. I'm calling and hating it, but relly this hand should have played out alot differently.

why would villian call the turn and not pooooosh with a set, i dont get it

[Rafpig]

Thanks for the feedback. I think if I made one clear mistake in this hand, it was not to raise more on the flop. Pre-flop probably folding is the best option, since the guy is very tight. I don´t like raising, first because he is only raising 4%, second because I have position and my AQ are suites AND it is hearts, my favourite suit /images/graemlins/smile.gif. I tanked in the river before calling and really expecting to lose, but the guy showed As Kq, can anyone believe this?
