Final Pot: 11 BB

Button is a 24/15/2.0 type. SB is unknown. I was planning on 3betting preflop, until the SB called.

Flop I figured didn't help anybody, thought I'd take a shot.

Turn I feel strongly i'm in front. If he raised I was calling and folding a K,Q or heart river.

River it was possible he backdoored hearts, but I thought it more likely he called with 2 bigs. I thought i'd give him a chance to represent the Ace, figuring he'd call if it hit him and if it didn't I wouldn't have to show. I was folding to a 3bet.

Is this a little too loose, a little too laggy?

I like betting out here because if it hit him he is likely to raise in which case you can 3 bet. If you think he is likely to just call even though it hit him than I like the sexy.

Had it not brought a back door flush, I think that would have been best. Given the unlikely but possible one card straight, and the back door hearts, I thought 2 bets was better than 3 on the river.

Well played. You likely have the best hand on the flop anyways. River sexy is good because your opponent is unlikely to raise you with a bare A on this semi scary board and you give K high a chance to bluff.

That is true because if he caps it than you are almost certainly beat, but I don't think it is a laydown i can make.
