Default 400NL 6 Max AA Hand

2/4 6 Max

Villain is relatively unknown. Appears to be standard TAG about 20/10/3. Nothing exceptional.

Folded to me on the button. I open for 12 with 2 black aces.

The SB (villain calls) as does the shortstacked big blind.

I have 500. Villain has 360 and the shorty has 70 or so behind.

Flop (36)

K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Checked to me and I check behind. (comments on checking here)

Turn (36)

5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Villain checks. Shorty bets 12. I call. Villain minraises. Shorty folds. I call.

River (96)

J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Villain bets 56.

I fold.

Comments on all streets appreciated.

I'm most inetrested in the line to take on the flop here. I've spoken with a few good players about the hand who all think differently on the optimal line.

Thanks.

If you take this line, call river

But bet flop seems like my standard line here and then look what happens [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Why are you so afraid to get some money in the middle here? Raise properly preflop, and bet the flop, then you can start thinking.
As played, I call river. If I am behind, maybe that will teach me to get some money in while still ahead.

What exactly is wrong with his preflop raise? How isn't it "proper"? He opens to 3x, what's the problem?

OP: Bet flop plz. As played, I'm definitely calling the river

If 3x is his standard open raise, I don't see what the problem is. It's not like raising to 3.5x is getting a ton more money into the pot anyway... It's the flop where we need to be getting money into the pot. Preflop is the least of our worries I think

Ok let's say I called the river as my hand is now really underrepresented.

For all the people advocating a flop bet. Why do you want to do this? Is this for value or as a bluff? Does betting the flop with a one pair hand on a monotone board with no draw not bloat the pot and leave us in for trickier decisions on later streets?
