Hi all,

This is my initial post so sorry if I made any mistakes. I tried to follow the guideline as much as I could.

I have been playing for about an hour and people came and gone so it was hard to get a read. And I forgot to turn on PT. In this hand I raised PF to 4BB. Villan called after limping in. As soon as I saw the flop and the way villan played the hand, I had a feeling he flopped trips. And the betting at each round sort of confirmed my suspicion. Should I have bet less as I smelled a rat? And any critism on my play is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Looks good to me. If he's got a set, good for him, but you still get max value in the longrun from AA with the line you took.

Reload pre preflop.
It looks very much like you are beat, but I'd have a hard time folding here for 15 more in such a big pot. Spitecall, river ace, ship.

I'd raise a bit less on the flop but bet a bit more on the turn.
I probably fold to the turn rr because I don't think we're ahead here 1/3 of the time.

Edited for clarity.

Yeah, I noticed my mistake on the flop after I pressed the pot button. I should have doubled his bet on the flop.

On the turn, I thought he may have hit two pairs playing J10. I thought about checking there but decided to bet anyway. I think that's another mistake. So there's some leaks here I belief.

I don't think that checking the turn is the right play. Sure, JT is in his range but so is a lot of other crap which you're ahead of.
