you need to put more money in on this hand, simple as that. On the flop you're going for a check raise. fine. On the turn, if you put him on aces why don't you raise on top after the 250, surely he won't fold then. And besides, you should have check-raised; you have a 3500 stack and you want to get it in. You can't do that by check-calling $75 bets.

On the river, you fold. I mean WOW, you FOLD. First of all, there is no reason he cannot be valuebetting a worse hand, especially AQ. This is not a situation where all you beat is a bluff. And of course calling alone seems to be missing tons of value. Its hard to believe that there aren't any worse hands this guy could have that would pay you off - again, especially AQ.

Even if AQ, QQ, and AA are the only hands he could possibly have, there are 3 aces left in the deck for 3 ways to make AA and there are 3 aces and 3 queens left for 9 ways to make AQ. And there are 3 combinations of QQ. 6 hands you lose to 9 you beat. You are getting 3:1. You must AT LEAST call.

And of course he should show up with Ax[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 45, a missed heart draw, etc. at least some of the time.

This hand is atrocious.
