loose 15-30 game. straddle is on.
UTG folds, UTG + 1 folds. Good player (GP) makes it 45. Folded to me on button, I have AA. I make it 60. BB calls. BB is ultra loose and could have almost anything. Straddler calls. GP caps it.
I haven't played with GP much, but I feel his likely capping hands here are AA, KK, QQ, AKs. Possibly JJ, AK, AQs, but I don't feel these are likely. GP thinks I'm super-tight.
Flop is Q9x rainbow. Checked to GP, he bets.
I call, planning to raise the turn. I feel my best chance to get BB and straddler out is to make it 60 on the turn. BB would call 30 on the flop with any pair or gutshot. He might fold these hands for 60 on the turn.
I call, BB folds, straddler folds.
Turn is a medium card--8, I think. Board Q9x8. GP bets, I call. My thinking: if he has AK, I want him to keep betting. If I raise trun, he'll fold AK, possibly even AQ. If I raise, he'll call with JJ or TT so my not raising won't cost me the pot. I don't feel he has these hands anyway.
River was... I can't remember! Another medium card, I think. I don't think it was a T or a J. He bets, I call. He shows AK.
1. Was this the right time to call on the flop? (planning to raise the turn and get BB and straddler out)
2. Was it weak of me to call the turn and river? As it turns out, it got me an extra 30. Given I thought he had AA, KK, QQ, or AKs, the only way I get an extra bet out of him by raising the turn is if he has KK.
