I'd check the river, prob fold but may call a smallish bet

The raise on the end was into a very scary board so I like the fold. I also like the $10 bet on the end.

because basically everything got there, and you can't rep anything big(maybe a couple [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] combos), your hand looks very 1pair-ish and you can't stand a river raise with those types of hands

I doubt you raise any hand with an 8 in it UTG that bets the flop and turn

I think the only way you win this pot is if it goes check/check or check/really weakbet/call

Anyone ever limp AQ UTG preflop? Or pretty much standard raise?

it depends on how aggressive the table is

I fold AQo in UTG at 8&9-handed unless the game is super weak-tight and predicable post-flop. In that kind of game, I usually win with any cb on most flops, and I occasionally get to the river with a bet/check/bet line vs a post-flop calling station.

This makes a lot of sense. I like this logic for check/call if the river bet is weak, or check/fold if the river bet is strong.

I actually think I would check this turn too. I know that might not be standard but its a line I take a lot. River is definitely a check IMO. Albert, folding AQ UTG seems really bad at anywhere below midstakes games. Limping is ok in games that are really aggro IMO. Who was MP2 villian? Definitely looks like something I would do on a float and I have floated you several times in the past few days.
