First Hand Post my AA raised on flop - did I do the right thing
 

OK, bear with me as this is my first hand post. I'll try to do the best I can.

3/6 Game Live

Hero is UTG with A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and I raise, fold to button who calls cold, SB calls, BB Calls.

8 SB to the flop.

Reads

Button is a solid older player, who normally plays his good cards passively, until at least the turn.

SB is a LA, who called me down earlier on a bluff I tried to make. He was killing time while waiting for a NL game.

The BB has been around for two or three orbits and I get the feeling that while he may play a home game, he is relatively new to casino poker. He got lucky earlier in a big pot on a BB special flush draw and is up for the moment.

Flop is 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Hero bets, button calls, SB folds (a surprise actually), and BB raises. Hero re-raises. Button folds, BB calls.

Turn 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Somehow I have the feeling he made his flush and I check the turn. BB checks behind.

River is 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I check, BB bets, I call.

Tell me if I did anything wrong here. I thought about betting the turn, but my gut told me his hand was made.

Result in white below.

You're UTG so last to act HU with BB...right???
Bet the turn and if he check/raises, dump it. If he calls turn, check behind on river.

Re: First Hand Post my AA raised on flop - did I do the right thing
 

Your turn/river action is messed up, you should be in position on the turn/river if he is BB.

If he checks to me on the turn I'm betting here.

I don't see someone who is inexpierenced c/ring with a flush draw. It could be a set or two pair, but if so he would probably cap?

I'm betting the turn to see where we are at. If I'm c/red again I could find a fold.

Also, please dont post results.

You ar eright, I got my action confused a little. He checked and I checked turn.

He bet and I called river.

Re: First Hand Post my AA raised on flop - did I do the right thing
 

I bet the turn; BB could easily have top pair with good kicker. If check/raised I think I call (I think the pot would be 10.5:1 right then and I'd have 4 outs to beat two pair). If I whiff on the river and he bets the pot is now 12.5:1; I think I have to make a crying call but I could be really really wrong on that.

He also may have checked the turn because he was afraid you made a flush. I'm thinking he called bftf with 33 or 55. I think you were probably beat but with the pot that size I would call the river after I checked the turn...jb

On second thought, I would bet the river here, too. You still have a strong hand, and he's not showing any real strength. But if he check-raises you either of the big streets, you're probably toast...

I'd bet the turn, but I wouldn't fold to a raise.

Re: First Hand Post my AA raised on flop - did I do the right thing
 

Yeah, it's kind of hard to tell what those home game players have. I don't put too much stock in a made flush yet, so I bet the turn again.
