Re: how is my line
 

I might check behind on turn and call a reasonable bet on the river. But I don't think your line is bad either.

Whats with the tiny bet on the flop? Bet 10 and try to get all the money in on that flop, you're ahead of his range.

What was the point to the fishy-smelling small flop bet?

Re: 50 NL - HOW IS MY LINE
 

You get 40% of the effective stacks in the middle by the turn and then fold the river? Yuck.

If you don't want to play a big pot (which isn't unreasonable here btw), then check behind on the turn and see what he fires on the river.

After making a pot sized bet on flop, what is my action if villian shoves/calls and checks turn?

If villain shoves the flop after a pot-sized bet you click on the button that says "Fold"... Quickly.

If he calls and then checks the turn, I probably still check behind. This really isn't a great board to be building a big pot with.

Re: 50 NL - HOW IS MY LINE
 

I do not like reraising an UTG raiser readless with AQo, basically because this hand became so tough to play post flop.
I often just fold it here pre flop readless, (could be too tight-but it makes my life easier) but I think this is one spot where calling is better than raising.
Then you can see a flop in position with a med. strength hand and keep the pot small in the process-both are big benefits.

Re: 50 NL - HOW IS MY LINE
 

Your line is... very aggressive. But on the flop you become shy... Why ? Potbet him. Then reevaluate turn and river.

Re: 50 NL - HOW IS MY LINE
 

bet more the flop, and check the turn. U are basically beating AT on the turn. River is just the worst possible scare card, so I like the fold.
