This seemed straightforward, but I want to make sure.

Button is tight/aggressive, a little too tight, doesn't raise much, straightforward post flop. SB is unknown.

Party Poker 5/10 Hold'em (6 max, 5 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

Preflop: Monty is BB with A/images/graemlins/club.gif, T/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, SB calls, Monty calls.

Flop: (6 SB) 5/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, A/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 7/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Monty raises</font>, Button folds, SB calls.

Turn: (5 BB) A/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Monty raises</font>, SB calls.

River: (9 BB) 4/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Monty bets</font>

Final Pot: 11 BB

Except the call preflop it's standard.

If villain is open raising here on the button I feel calling AT here is easy. Players that don't raise enough steal, too. In fact, if the SB isn't in this hand already I'm inclined to 3bet pf.

Postflop, if the villain is straightforward then he's giving you no real indication you're beat as he plays a weaker ace the same way, so I play it the same.

Of course I'm talking about 3-betting. Folding is atricious.

Anybody else 3-bet this pre-flop after the SB calls?

If SB doesn't call I'm definitely 3-betting. If SB is loose though and over-defends then I 3-bet as well. Otherwise I just call.

Why did you raise the turn instead of the river?

Because I put him on a worse A and therefore I'm not worried about him getting away from a weaker hand. I'm pretty sure he'll call and call a bet on the river, too.

I think I also like raising the river in this spot because I think a typical villain folds to the raise a decent amount. Assuming he also bets the river, you get the same amount against a made hand. Also, if by some chance he has a better hand than you, he is less likely to 3bet you on the river. If the board had more draws, I would be more inclined to raise the turn.
