AA in CO late in Party 40k

[bambam16]

This hand is from tonight's 40k, we're down to about 35 left. I have been on a good card rush so I've been raising a lot, and haven't shown down any of my bad hands. My standard raise was 2.5 BBs.

Villian hasn't been too out of control, he's pretty much sitting on his big stack. I've stolen from him a few times and he didn't put up much of a fight. He's made a few raises from EP but hasn't shown down cards in a long time.

How's my play on all streets?

I like checking behind on that flop in the hopes he tries to bluff it later. The flop most likely did not hit him.

I also think the villian might lead out on the flop if it did not hit him... however, I do know the results of this hand so I can't say my advice is completely objective. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Bump for the morning crowd, also have to fix the pot sizes as they got screwed up in the converter. I did these by hand but I think they're correct.

Before flop: 114,000
Before turn: 254,000
Before river: 394,000
Final pot: 729,762

I guess my biggest question with the hand is whether or not to value bet on the river, but I'll take comments on any/all streets. Thanks in advance.

Preflop I like the raise, it's well disguised as just another raise. The flop bet looks good. I would only call with a King or a Ten here as the opponent. If you checked the flop and I had a king or a ten I'd bet. The turn bet looks REALLY weak and with a king now I'm raising but a ten I'm calling and praying that you bet the river.

Overall I think you played it pretty well. You lost the hand to QT/AT/JT/AK/KQ right?

[Chris_ca]

Other than your turn bet being too small I think you played it well.

[guaranteedBluff]

Looks good to me. If he has a ten then oh well. I think this is a river that you need to value bet because AK/KQ is always calling the bet.

I was thinking along those same lines. I really didn't think he had a T after the turn bet, but I wanted to use position and call to see what he'd do on the river. (For those who said my turn bet was too small, I just flat called his lead)

Oh yeah, results: he had KK and I'm crippled. I guess he played it well, he got all my chips.

Don't move this post to BBV, just checking to make sure I didn't botch this hand too much.

His play was fishy from the start. Why did he check and call on the flop, then bet out on a rag turn? I don't think he's going to do that with AK or even KQ. I don't think I would have folded the turn, but I would have checked the river. Because he's only going to call your all in if you're beat, you arent going to gain anything by value betting river.

By the way, he played the river beautifuly.

How could he lose to KQ or AK?

[Imrahil]

He's not going to lose to KQ or AK, but based on the betting so far, I don't think he would have KQ or AK.
