CO ($9.85)
Button ($3.80)
SB ($1.60)
BB ($2.90)
UTG ($2)
MP1 ($7.95)
Hero ($9.35)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
1 fold, MP1 raises to $0.2, Hero raises to $0.6, 4 folds, MP1 calls $0.40.

Flop: ($1.35) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
MP1 checks, Hero bets $1, MP1 raises to $2, Hero calls $1.

Turn: ($5.35) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
MP1 checks, Hero ?

The min-raise on Flop could mean TP, overpair, or anything. Should I bet or check the blank turn? If I should bet at least 1/2 of the pot (say $3), then is it better just to push him all in since he only have $5.35 left?

Reraise the flop to $4 or push
as played bet $3 on turn. Looks like a draw to me.

As played I'd push the turn.

Is putting villian all in on the flop bad?

Hmm... I don't know. I don't think pushing the Flop is good. If villain is half-decent, they can prob get away with over-pairs, which we might get more value out of if we just call. But we definitely get called by things that beat us, i.e. sets or straight. No?

No. Both 3-betting the flop and calling and putting the rest in on most turns is OK.

This could easily be JT JJ here.

The way villian has played it is kinda leading me towards top pair with a straight draw as he's shown a little strengh attempting to take the betting lead on the flop as he has alot of draws but he's slown down on the turn when his hands become less of a threat.

I may also call behind on the flop here to see what he does on the turn, if he checks the turn when a card comes that dosnt look like it's helped him i'd bet $3.50 and make him pay to outdraw you.

I bet the flop 95% "for information".... not too many times does betting for info really work, but this is classic. Villain's mini says "I'm on a draw and it's a good draw." (or minorly, "I have an overpair" which doesn't bother much at all.) So now I have money in the pot WHILE I'M AHEAD.

If you wait to the turn to bet, there will be NO EXTRA money in the pot as "most" of the micro players will fold a draw to a good sized turn bet. And you better make good sized bets here. If you give good enuf implied odds, it will be your own fault that you lost the hand. AA is a nice PF and flop hand... I don't want to take it too deep usually.

This is just too simple. You have position,,, so use it!

You can check behind on the turn and allow a free draw ( then call his river bet/bluff) or bet him off his draw.

The problem in this hand is villain's stack size. You have to decide very early whether you want to battle a shortie or not. AA..... I'm stepping to the plate. Shorties aren't usually limp/calling with crap.....unless they are crap themselves.

IMHO, a lot of the shorties at the level I play are craps themselves tho.
