This was my 4th hand at the table and thus no reads. When my opponent bet out on the flop after calling my bet, I figured he may have either a draw or a weaker ace. When I raised him on the flop and then got reraised I became confused. I wasn't sure what to put my opponent on at that point and I had not idea if I was ahead or behind although I was certainly leaning towards the latter. I figured he may have hit trips or two pair. I ultimately decided to make a reluctant call and see what the turn brought. When then 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] came I figured that couldn't have helped his hand and called another bet by my opponent. Please critique my play on all streets. I feel like I played this hand like crap.

Opponent shows Ac 7c

When the board paired on the river with an non-club I figured I had the best hand. I had Aces up with the Queen kicker. If he had AK or trips then more power to him but I was gonna get the rest of my chips in here.
