Is the line fine? Board was pretty dry and I knew UTG+1 loves to play A/rag, hoped to get some bluff or TPGK money out off the Button.

I would bet the flop approx. 200. Want to get value from Ax hands.

I'd bet the flop for 350.
River seems to be somehow close.

The call on the river was read-dependent [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] I knew his style, saw him in some sngs and my note was correct, he showed Ah5d (hidden). And he is a big losing player.

Hmm, ok, bet the flop. I raised pre, wouldn't that chase out Ax? I'd bet if I wanted to get draws out and take the pot heads up, but with such a dry board don't i want to keep it multiway in a raised pot?

You will never chase out Ax, flop is a mandatory bet for value. If they don't have an ace you are unlikely to get paid, but you will still get paid by worse pairs even occasionally, because this is a $3 sng. River is close but I probably call on principle.

Well a check isn't that bad because you're obviously way ahead but Ax won't fold on the flop when it has called your 3bet pf and getting value in with the 2nd nuts is a nice thing [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

id definitely bet the flop, its really easy to build a pot with big hands in the micro buy in sngs and this is a good flop.

as played, id raise harder on the turn. board is really drawy, theyre going to call more, and this allows you to just stick it in on the river when they inevitably make a huge turn mistake. closer to pot sized raise (450+?) seems appropriate here.

as played, this is a 3.40, and id probably spite call.

They can easily have hands like J10, Q10 and QJ, so an another reason to bet the flop. t350 looks good.

Can't a check on the flop induce bluffs on later streets by Ax? Maybe I'm way off, especially at the 3.40s where players are going to stack off regardless.
