Party NL50. Villian 1 is a LAG ATM who is just plain awful in every aspect of the game. Villian 2 is 11/6 after 70 hands and seems decent. I don't see him holding anything but AA-QQ or A K. ´Villian 1 is MP w/ $50, villian $2 is SB w/ $65, I'm UTG w/ A A and cover both.

Pre-flop:
I raise $2 UTG, villian 1 calls, villian 2 makes it $3:50 SB, I make it $10, villian 1 folds, villian 2 calls.

Flop ($22): A Q 3r (2 players)

Villian bets $15, I call

Turn ($52): 4 completiung rainbow (2players)

Villian checks, I check

River ($52): K (2 players)

Villian checks, I bet $20.

Thoughts?

Smooth call PF because you can get a good deal of douchebags stack in there by bet/3-betting the flop.

As you played it, I'm loving a river push. Put him to a real test.

I have seen villian 1 call big 3-raises pre-flop w/ nothing.

i'd throw a half-pot bet at the turn

EDIT: maybe $20...that'll leave him with ~$20 more to put in on the river.

he was probably on no pair or a Q and was hoping you would fold your KK on the flop.

I don't think you could have gotten more unless if by raising the flop you can convince him to push bluff.

Hard to say. It sounds like you made the best move to extract the maximum from Villian 1, but this time that went wrong... nevermind.

I have a hard time resolving what else you could do here. If you really put him on that hand range, and he doesn't pay you off the way you played it postflop (particularly on the river), then I don't think there is anyway to extract more money from him.

Either he made a great laydown, or your read is wrong. I have no idea which.
