I took an interesting line here...but it made sense to me at the time...thoughts?

bet the flop, lead the turn

I don't like seeing another ace, cause I'm likely playing for a draw or i lose to a bigger kicker...I don't want to lead into a 6 obviously. What else is going to call my flop bet? I'm not scared of giving a free card, so I think playing this slow is probably the best way to go...please give some reasoning behind your bet.

if the guy had the 2, he probobaly wouldn't value bet river...?


Also, I don't really like the utg limp of A5s, unless this is some sort of ultra passive table you're at. Maybe others think differently?

You raised PF and flopped top pair, is there any reason not to bet? Just because the board is paired doesnt mean someone has trips. Checking seems pretty fishy to me and allows for a lot of bluffing.

Also, I hope you had some good reads for that raise pf.
