55 Aggression... Good or Bad?

I'm trying to mix my game up a bit, and this felt like a good spot to push people off of a pot.

What now? What about throughout?

Sure why not, I like it bet $15.

Based on his flop play he will probably be scared of the A

[creamfillin]

Hate it. Make it like 12$ and I'll hate it less.

[calmB4storm]

Raise more on the flop.
Preferably <font color="green">all-in</font>.
It makes the turn and river <font color="blue">easier</font> to play.

Edit: Damn you guys are quick!

As played id bet like $15 on the turn with that scare card. I agree with creamfillin tho, gotta pop it higher on the flop, 12$ should be good.

If you're going to try this then you should be raising to $12-15 on the flop, no less. As played, bet $18-20 on the turn, the Ace was a great card for you.

I would rather make that play as a semi- bluff. It sure did work out well though, bet $20.

If you are going to bluff the flop, bluff more.

I give up on the turn because you cold-called on the button so that limits your range of aces, and your aggression on the flop indicates you already have something, so it seems unlikely the A would help you. BB called a 3-bet so it doesn't seem much like he is going anywhere. If he's really bad maybe he does this with a draw, but that depends on your reads.

Not a good board IMO to try to make this play, ppl way overplay their draws, and can't let go of TP, especially when they can think that you have the draw. I would fire the turn in this spot, the ace is a good card to fire on, although this hand is pretty spewy in general.

What is with everybody. I hate this bluff on the flop. It looks bad...very bad.

As played I think betting the turn is good. And if he calls I think a triple barrel may even be order if the river's not a diamond.

Wow, turns out it wasn't as crazy psycho of a play as I had thought. Interesting. I'm uncomfortable with it mainly because I decided to do it after the flop, rather than setting the tone preflop. Guess I need to get more comfortable with larger bets, too.

As played, I felt the Ace was a great card for me, bet $12 on the turn, took it down.
