AQ hand

[Rudi]

I'm glad I found this place. It's been a real help and I find the hand reviews insightful and informative.

Anyway, this is my first post. Frankly, I think I got carried away by capping the flop.

Reads: MP3 (60+ hands, 23/16)
UTG+2 (20+ hands, 38/0)

Cavaet: This was an early hand so I didn't have the reads I have on these two at the time.

I think I play this the same, except I would 3 bet preflop.

I guess you were going to the CR on the flop, which is a good idea.

I'd cap the flop and lead out on the turn. If you are then reraised I'd slow down unless the turn helped you.

I thought about the C/R or leading the turn, but the 8 /images/graemlins/club.gif sort of sapped the aggressiveness. It felt like MP3 had me beat with his turn bet after a capped flop. Turns out UTG+2 had me beat too.
