Default Comm 40: This one felt weird

I feel like I misplayed this one on more than one street.

I'm up a little less than a rack so far and probably have a very solid image. Folded to me in the HJ with red QQ. I raise, solid player calls on the button. BB calls as well, he's decent but has taken a couple of beats in the last 30 min or so and appears to be tilting.

Flop: AdJdAs

BB checks, I check (I usually bet here, but I've checked a couple of times this session when I've raised big cards and missed), button checks.

Turn: 8h

Checked to button who bets, BB calls, I c/r, both call.

River: 6s

BB checks, I ?

flop: I like the check, if you bet and button raises, I feel we have to go to SD anyway, so throwing a feeler bet out there isn't going to accomplish much

turn: I think the liklihood that button bets this turn after checking through on the flop is very low. I like a turn bet here, but, if you do check, the c/r is correct

river: lead

I'd prefer to bet the flop, there are plenty of hands we don't want to give a free card to.

I love how new posters feel the need to add tidbits like this.

I'd certainly bet the turn after checking the flop. However, I don't really like checking the flop. A check on the flop says "AK/AJ/KK/QQ/JJ (possibly 22-TT, but less likely)". A bet on the flop says, "I open raise with XX-XX in the HJ." I'd much rather the button think, "well he could have K3s for all I know!!!" and start calling down with 44, then for him to get a free card to 2 outs and every excuse to fold when you bet the turn.

As played, I think you have to bet the river. You are going to call a river bet, but the way you played this, you're not getting raised by less than a boat. The only raise to check is if you think that check/fold is your best option (which it may be)

Shawnhoo is hardly a new poster.

Shawn, I think if you check you'll miss a bet from a jack and you'll never get an ace to check it down, so I'd go ahead and bet unless you feel like you can check/fold. I wouldn't be shocked to see BB turn up a crappy ace or to have them both fold or to have them both call you and you win, its Commerce so weird things happen and you took a weird line and they have no clue what you have but it looks like you are huge so they will be scared with almost anything.

LOL! pwned. OK, I guess it doesn't only apply to new posters. But everytime I see "so I was up a rack and then this happened" or "I was running over the table and then this happened", etc I feel the welling of a girlish giggle deep in my belly and my face breaks out in an uncontrollable smile.
