AA - Probably way ahead?

[Conny]

Now this hand have been enoying me for a day or two. This is the third hand at the table so I do not have any reads.

After playing the hand it struck me that I might be somewhat retarded. Playing this hand the way I did. I would like some comments on this reasoning:

This is a typical WA/WB situation and in 95% (since there are so few hands he can have to beat me) I'm WA and should have played this alot more agressive. I does not matter if I loose this particular hand!

I think I have a tendency to put people on monsters when ever I meet agression and need some way to quit doing that!

Flop - I would probably cap the flop without reads. He could have AT or an overpair. See if he leads turn after that.

Turn - Raise here, call down if re-raised.

Would he have raised UTG+1 with a 5 in his hand? Without reads, most people wouldn't. Worse case here would be TT.

Without reads I'd cap the flop, raise the turn, and if he three bets call down.

[OziBattler]

you are most likely way ahead. he probably is
a. a tard (standard at that limit)
b. putting you on overcards on the flop

I dont mind not capping the flop if it is with the intention of raising the turn.

Not WA/WB by any means. Read this to begin your studies of the subject.

In this case, without a read, it probably doesn't matter much either way. Cap the flop and you get 0.5BB more in the pot. If he still leads the turn, you're calling twice, anyway. If you smooth-call the flop and raise the turn, you might get 1BB more in the pot on the end, but you run the risk of folding out some KT-type hands. Point being, the only way you're going to get significantly more money into the pot at the end of the hand is by getting shown one of the 2 possible hands that have you beat on the flop that would have raised PF (unless UTG+1 is an absolute nutbag this isn't 5x, but it could be TT from anybody or 55 from a LAG).

I raise/fold the river.

Folding anywhere in this hand is throwing money down the drain.

[Buckmulligan]

raise folding the river sounds like a bad idea to me. That's making a pretty confident assumption in a big pot that he can't play JJ/kk/qq that way.

I like a raise on the turn. a call down if he three bets there.

And raising the river is pointless spewing.
