<font color="black">Preflop:</font> Hero is dealt 7/images/graemlins/spade.gif A/images/graemlins/heart.gif (7 Players)
UTG calls $0.05, UTG+1 folds, MP calls $0.05, CO folds, BTN calls $0.05, SB folds, Hero checks
<font color="black">Flop:</font> ($0.22) Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif 7/images/graemlins/club.gif A/images/graemlins/spade.gif (4 Players)
<font color="red">Hero bets $0.10</font>, <font color="red">UTG raises to $0.20</font>, 2 folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to $0.50</font>, <font color="red">UTG raises to $1.25</font>, Hero calls $0.75
<font color="black">Turn:</font> ($2.72) T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif (2 Players)
Hero checks, <font color="red">UTG bets $2.30</font>, Hero calls $2.30
<font color="black">River:</font> ($7.32) 3/images/graemlins/club.gif (2 Players)
Hero checks, <font color="red">UTG bets $8.00</font> (I have $8.55 left, so it's basically all-in)
Ok, so I'm not too happy about how I played this hand, but I felt on the flop that I had him for sure, he probably would have raised Aces, Queens and AQ.
The turn was a bit of a scare card, but with him being aggressive on the flop, I couldn't imagine him having hit a straight with KJ for example.
In hindsight, I may have had to lead the turn, or even push to his bet.
But then this pot sized river bet confuses me. He has seen me call (a bit like a calling station, yes) all the way, so why such a big bet? If he wants to bet a set for value, wouldn't he have bet a little less?
But anyway, this decision was a hard one, but how do you think I played the hand, and what should I do on the river?
My line of thought from the flop onwards, was getting a cheap showdown, I didn't know if my 2 pair was good enough.
