Hand Question

[mikeyp]

I have a question about a hand that just happened. I had AQ in late position. One limper in front of me, so of course I raise. The blinds fold and the limper calls. The flop comes JJA. All different suits. The limper raises. I call. Turn was a rag, but same suit as A that was on the flop. Limper raises, I call. River a Q, but again same suit as the A that was out on the flop putting a flush out there. He raised, I called and won with TTT. He had A9.

My question is, should I have reraised him at any point during play?

Since he limped I sorta ruled out AK, AQ, and AJ. But he could of had KJ, QJ or maybe even J10 suited. So did I make the right move by just calling his raises?

First off, the limper bet, did not "raise". Secondly, calling leaves you in a position of not knowing where you stand. With a raise, if he goes over the top, then you are probably beaten, but if he calls, then you are most likely ahead. Besides, on the turn, if he is indeed on a flush draw, you want to make him pay to see the river. Overall, not well played, but you did win the hand.

Alright, thanks for your input. Next time my something like this comes up and my opponent bets I will try raising to see where I stand.
