bet sizing AA
 

Villain is a little too loose pf but seems to play reasonable post.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Button ($18.30)
SB ($25.90)
Hero ($26.80)
UTG ($69.05)
MP ($25.30)
CO ($20.05)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Button calls $0.25, SB completes, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $1.25</font>, Button calls $1, SB folds.

Who raises more here?

Flop: ($2.75) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $1.75</font>, Button calls $1.75.

I would usually bet more like 2.25 here but decided to switch it up as 1.75 is my usual continuation bet with something likie AK . After his call i feel hes got clubs, a medium q, or slowplaying an 8.

Turn: ($6.25) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $3.75</font>, Button calls $3.75.

Again i bet small. Im giving him odds to draw to his flush, but im also almost certain hes raising an 8 here(and only an 8) so i felt betting small would make it super easy to get away from a raise. After my bet he uses time bank and says in chat "big hand popeye?" IM now like 95% certain hes got a weak queen.

River: ($13.75) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $4</font>,

I bet small here cause he wanted to fold so bad on the turn and i want him to make a "well its so small lets see what he has" call.

Final Pot: $21.75

Re: bet sizing AA
 

PF is okay.

Your c-bet needs to be bigger so you can bet bigger when you have a monster (like here).

Turn bet is too small. I generally want to play for stacks with AA (this flops pretty bad for that though), so I try to build the pot as much as possible. And as soon as possible.

River I dunno, if you're pretty much sure he has a weak Q, it's alright.

Re: bet sizing AA
 

I think your c-bet was fine, but from there I agree with Bus.

Another option was to bet much bigger on 5th, somewhere in the realm of $8.50-$10, and induce a bluff. Course you would really have to follow through on your read of a weak queen.

Re: bet sizing AA
 

With this villian would this be a good situation to check river to induce bluff? If you think he is going to fold does it matter if you bet $4 or more on river?

Re: bet sizing AA
 

I really really hate checking this river. I have a super strong read here he has a weak queen and he was hesitant to call my turn bet. Hes not going to bet this river, ever.

Re: bet sizing AA
 

I raise to 1.50 pf. 4xbb + 1bb for every limper as you know

I pot the flop and turn as well.

Re: bet sizing AA
 

For those wanting to pot the flop and turn, is it just for protection from a club draw? I really don't like bloating this pot then finding out too late that im beatin.

Re: bet sizing AA
 

Its for value and protection. We want to protect against the club draw and get KQ to bloat the pot.
