AK Hand, 50nl

[Peleus]

Hi all,

I would appreciate it if you could walk through this hand with me, and comment on my thoughts each street. I feel its roughly standard.

<font color="blue"> Villain is standard TAG, 18/12 over 50ish hands </font>

SB: $64.40
BB: $61.10
UTG: $50
Hero (CO): $58.15
BTN: $86.75

Pre-Flop: A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (CO)
<font color="red">UTG raises to $2</font>, Hero calls $2, 3 folds

<font color="blue"> UTG raise, most likely half decient hand, KQ+, AJ+, 77+. I'll call and see the flop, don't want to overplay the hand and get caught with a 3 bet behind. Play / dump on flop depending on hit / miss </font>

Flop: ($4.75) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">UTG bets $3</font>, Hero calls $3

<font color="blue"> Ok, hit our A, looking good. I think the best way of finding where we are at is seeing if he leads the turn as well. Villain would cbet almost any of his range here, and if I call his cbet he would usually check turn to me, or if he leads turn again possible he has AK, AQ, AJ and I can get good value out of him. Its not a draw heavy board so I don't mind calling here, mabye give him chance to catch up if he does have KQ and K or Q comes</font>

Turn: ($10.75) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">UTG bets $5.50</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to $15</font>, UTG calls $9.50

<font color="blue"> Ok, turn lead out to me says he has something. I'm putting him on AJ, AQ (mabye AK), at this point. AA is also possible, but I'm finding it unlikely. Feel he would have limped small PP so small set unlikely. TT in range but not worried to much about it. Overall ahead of his range here so I'm raising it up to get value out of dominated AJ or AQ. </font>

River: ($40.75) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players)
UTG checks, <font color="red">Hero bets $15</font>, UTG calls $15

<font color="blue"> Club comes which isn't a card I'm particularly fond of, however can't really worry about back door flush draw. AA / TT would most likely have bet out, as they can't be sure I'll bet. Seems like a hand wanting to get to show down but doesn't want to put more money in, hence still thinking AQ/AJ that they are not sure where they stand. Again ahead of most of his range so value bet $15. </font>


Are my thoughts throughout this hand a decent table analysis? Do you disagree with any of the points I was thinking at the table? Bar perhaps 3 betting preflop would you change anything?

Thoughts on this hand would be appreciated. Results later.
