trips in a RR pot....ugh

Villain is an aggressive regular at 29/22/2.5. Button is a very loose and somewhat aggressive donk.

Note that UTG is a poster. Villain has a bigger range that normal with his isolation raise.

The river doesn't really improve my hand. Is a good player ever pushing with JJ-KK or missed hearts on the river?

You beat AJ and not much else. Beat by AK, 88-TT, A8-AT. Looks like a fold. And bet the flop yo

I am WA/WB on the flop. I don't really see any reason to bet...

I'd fold the way you played. I'm still thinking about the flop.

Plenty of draws on the flop, you're not WA/WB. I'd bet it, especially in a 3-way pot.

Villain is 29/22, we have checked an A high board in a RR pot, I'm calling the river and feeling good about it.

You raised because you had and ace and a good kicker. You hit your ace and you have a good kicker. Draws are out there. Bet.

As played there's little you beat on the river, fold.

20 percent of your stack preflop?? i disagree with that

Protect your hand. Get value from weaker A's. There are gutshots on the flop, plus FD's. Bet the flop.
