Final Pot: $58.50
Reads: None.
I know my logic meter may be off here, limping from CO with AQs and then calling a raise with it, but let's not focus too much on that. Would have raised one limper, but two UTG limpers, I don't know. Anyway, I called the raise cause I had position and wanted to try to take down a small pot. He took a while to call the flop, so I immediately put him on AK. I didn't bet the turn cause I wanted him to catch an ace or make a bluff at the river. Didn't "think" he was suited in spades, so the only draw was the 10 but I was willing to give him a free card.
What about the river play? I don't know. I could have just called, but I was so certain he had AK and I raised purely for value. I just couldn't see him playing any other hands this way.
