Default $16 AQo, UTG

Hi,

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t100 (8 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

Hero (t2000)
UTG+1 (t1290)
MP1 (t830)
MP2 (t3335)
CO (t1700)
Button (t1210)
SB (t1830)
BB (t1305)

Preflop: Hero is in UTG with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="red">Hero raises to t250</font>, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP2 folds</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, BB calls t150

Flop: (t550) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks

Turn: (t550) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB checks, <font color="red">Hero bets t300</font>, BB calls t300

River: (t1150) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks

Vilain is unknown. I did raise the hand just before and won the blind uncontested.

Preflop : limp / fold / raise ?
Flop : the check behind seems standard, agreed ?
Do you value bet the river ? (it seems to me like a good idea in the vacuum).

May possibly lay this UTG as chances are u will be playing oop for rest of hand. Why no cont bet with pos and pretty ragged board? and yeah i think id bet 450-500 on end.

I do not play 16s (I play lower lol) but I like your play up until the riv. I'm confident you have the best hand and I think a vbet is in order.

Going to the river, the pot is 1150 and villain has 755 left, right? They are very rarely checking a hand better than AQ there. You must bet the river, and I'd shove. Rest of the hand is okay, though I'd probably c-bet the flop.

There's nothing wrong with betting 300 pre here, right? Not criticizing, just checking.

Depending on flow of game and what you've done in the past, check / bet on flop are both arguable.

Turn is fine.

I shove on the river.
