AQs

[Mike Kelley]

I think I played this really limply, I always get confused when the FTA player throws a minimum raise into the pot, is he actually bluffing that amount? The board was rainbow, I had a theory for a while that people were trying to draw at flushes cheaply by controlling the pot with this sized bet. So, anyway I just called him down and he had the same hand as me. Please give some insight into what this guy is thinking and how I played the hand. Thank you.

[PRE]

Just push PF. As played, it looks fine. Villian wants to keep the pot small and you should oblige.

[Mike Kelley]

Would you of just pushed pre-flop because of the size of his stack? or because AQs is that great of a hand? His small re-raise made me think possibly aces but, NIT's like me probably always think that...

Push preflop because of his stack size, also don't show results

[Mike Kelley]

sorry, it was my first time using the hand converter, didn't realize you could hide them.

Son't worry about it. Read the sticky on top of this page. Read EVERY link in it. Reading your post, you have a ton to learn.

raise flop

Raise flop. I would treat that min bet on the flop as a check. Take control of the betting of the hand.
