"aggression" hands from tonight..

[Joe826]

I'm still trying to stop being a weak-tight little girly, any comments would be great.

Do you think I should have bet into the flop? If I had to do it over again I would. The bad news is, UTG had Qs9c.

Alright, let's take them one at a time.

Hand 1:
No weak-tight tendencies here.
Preflop reraise: Auto. Could very well be on a steal and with such a strong hand as AQo, you should always be reraising.
Flop bet and reraise: You have top pair heads-up against a possible blind steal. Bet and 3-bet if raised. He could very well be on a weak ace.
Turn bet and call: Turn should always be bet. When he raises you it is time to slow down, just as you did.
River call: The pot is big.

Hand 2:
Don't think it is a questionable completion in the SB, you can expect a multiway pot and it is only half a bet for you. However, when BB raises I would be inclined to fold this one. On the flop I think you did the right thing. BB has been the aggressor and if you bet into this flop, don't be surprised if he raises you and forces out hands that you would have liked to have in.

Turn is fine. On the river however, I would probably check this one and call if he bets. He will raise with hands that beat you and you probably have to pay off, but he will very likely fold all hands that you beat. Check-call this one.

Hand 3:
Questionable call preflop. You would need at least one more call before you unless you can be sure that several people will call after you.

Flop: Cap it.
Turn: Bet into him. If he raises you, call him down.
River: Fine.

Thanks Kluddelude - Sometimes I assume the worst when I should just bite the bullet and cap it, like on hand 3. I thought he may have flopped a straight or something. Turns out he had QJ, ouch.
