Would have checked called the river. Worried that villian has possible 2 pair or set. However definitely at least a call on river. 280 seems weak but could be due to villian worried bout you hitting aces up on river.

raise to 80 preflop

check/call river

Re: 5 sng AQs first hand.
 

Raise more preflop OOP. c/c river and expect two pair or a set. That river bet is either weak or is a trapping bet.

Fold to turn raise, he had AJo.

Re: 5 sng AQs first hand.
 

yeah, fold the Turn. he's not doing this with a draw.

as played, i check/call river.

Re: 5 sng AQs first hand.
 

fold turn

c/c river

Re: 5 sng AQs first hand.
 

what do you guys think about check/calling the turn???

this is not a good board to fire 2 barrels.

I don't know if a c/c on the turn maximizes EV, but it accomplishes a few good things. It let's us see a showdown cheaper if we are going to call a reraise like in the hand (which I wouldn't). It gives us more reason to call the hand down on the river as well if we hit top pair.

just go all in preflop instead of raising to 60
