Turn: ($11.75) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets $10</font>, Hero calls $10.

<font color="blue"> The flop call concerned me because this is basically a dry board, so villians range isn't real wide here. Who bet folds here? I checked because sometimes this type of player will float and take me off a hand, so I get value from bluffs by check-calling. Also AQ might fire here as well. If it gets checked through, no biggie--I've only got a pair. </font>

River: ($31.75) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $18</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to $47.65</font>, Hero folds.

<font color="blue"> River is me trying to max value from an AQ and set my price for showdown. Once I'm raised, it's an easy fold. </font>

Final Pot: $67.75
