1) I'd check pre-flop

2) As played, flop is fine

3) Turn I'd probably check behind, but I guess you're fine.

4) A big "WTF" at river.

preflop: fine I think

flop: fine

turn: He has at worst three-of-a-kind, aces. This is a very good hands because it beats any two-pair or other three-of-a-kind, as per the little explanation card that came in last deck I bought. On the plus side, you are in position with a strong draw, so you can call his minraise and stack him if you hit.

river: He still has three aces. He's not folding them, and they don't beat your aces and eights, so you should not raise. You probably should not even call.

Don't like this hand.

Preflop: Depends on how villain plays post. If he never folds, I check. If he folds a decent amount on flops, I don't mind a raise.

Flop: Standard.

Turn: I take my free card. As played, obv call.

River: I just don't think people mess around on Axx flops enough to get stubborn with air, when they've become stubborn first.
