I had raised sb on the flop the last 2 hands, so a fine time to fastplay.

Should I usually be waiting for the river to raise in this situation?

Not sure what this has to do with AQo but I would usually wait till the river, especially with the 2 pairing.

The flop raise is fine, the turn raise is bad.

If I've raised him on the flop the last 2 hands I'll raise the flop here too, but yeah, then after he bets the turn you can wait till the river.

Turn raise is fine, well played. I love these people who critique hands based on the way it played out. It's like you folded J2o UTG and the flop came JJ2, you shoula called idiot!

I think it's fine. Don't post results. Results in a post like this seriously skew responses.

I love how you don't know who any of us are but assume we can't make our own decisions about how we would play a poker hand.

I thinking calling the turn makes more over the long run.

I think SB folds ace high to the turn raise usually but will feel compelled to at least check/call the river.

Because sm could have been betting on a flush draw, I think it makes sense to flat call the turn, and hope his flush materializes. Even without that draw, I don't see how waiting to river could cost you a bet.

It only costs you a bet if SB would've called the turn CR and river bet, but gets scared of your turn flatcall and just check-calls the river.

edit: or has the flush draw and just check/folds the river.

But I think that's what we should be going for here, no need to scare SB when you have the second nuts.
