30-60 live hand.

I have AQ offsuit UTG and raise. All fold back to the two loose blinds who play horribly post flop and are way too loose, both are stuck on the session too.

Flop comes 8-Q-K with two hearts.

SB bets, BB raises, I 3-bet, SB folds, BB calls.

Turn comes a 2. BB check calls.

River comes an 8 no heart. BB bets, I raise.

If you make this raise each time this situation comes up, I believe you will lose a lot of money.

Call me weak-tight, but I probably folding this flop.

Once you get to the river, I don't like the raise.

If he's bluffing a missed flush draw, you gain nothing with a raise. If he's got 2 pair or better, he's not folding. A lot of worse hands than yours that will make this stab, are going to fold to your raise so you rarely gain in those spots.

You gain the most when he has exactly a king and is willing to fold and I don't think that happens quite enough.
