AA vs TAG
 

Stack sizes:
SB $15.70
BB $12.25
Villain $29.40
Hero $37.30

Stats on Villain: 20/10/5, a not very good but probably winning player, too weak for my tastes.

I get A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] on the button.
Preflop:
Villain calls $0.25, Hero raises to $1.25, 2 folds, Villain calls $1.00.

Flop (Pot: $2.70): 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Villain checks, Hero bets $2.20, Villain calls $2.20.

Turn (Pot: $7.00): Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Villain checks, Hero checks.

River (Pot: $7.00): Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Villain bets $5, Hero calls $5.


Well played? After the flop call I figured this was WA/WB. Because Villain limp/calls UTG with 20/10-stats, this suggests a smallish PP (22-88) to me. He either has a set or air (like 33 hoping to be against AK UI) IME.

Comments appreciated.

bet that turn
river is ok as played, could be a bluff, too.
I might raise/fold here, because we'll get called by hands like, KK,99-JJ, A8s.

Re: AA vs TAG
 

I think you played this well. There are no draws out there and I think this extracts the most from hands you beat while saving you from losing the most when you're behind.

Re: AA vs TAG
 

I see what you are saying in your 'read', however I bet/fold turn for value.

Re: AA vs TAG
 

To the people saying "bet turn"-

I don't really have to protect my hand here. Isn't letting Villain bluff on the river not worth more than extracting on the turn from hands of which I'll get only two streets of value anyway?

Re: AA vs TAG
 

This is fine. I don't think there's any value in betting the turn against a 20/10's limp/calling range.

Re: AA vs TAG
 

then you have to raise the river imo.
villain is aggro...

Re: AA vs TAG
 

I think yer overthinking it. I'm more of a "If you are ahead, put as much money into the pot as you think he will call" kinda donk, so. Without thinking of the river card, what if he just hit a Q, or a flush draw, ya wanna charge him for calling with them hands. I just think yer line's too passive.

Re: AA vs TAG
 

I would be betting the turn to get value from everything. He floats that flop with so many hands you beat its ridic. Otherwise you have played this well, your line certainly doesnt suck.

Bet turn....

To everyone saying to check the turn, ... why can't villain have a hand like 89?
