Pocket Aces in Early position.

Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (9 handed) converter Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button 3-bets</font>, SB calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero caps</font>, MP1 calls, Button calls, SB calls.

Re: Pocket Aces in Early position.
You should raise the turn. You're very likely to be best here. If its 3-bet you can call it and check/call river.
Why'd you lead the river after your turn check/call anyway? |

Re: Pocket Aces in Early position.
after the flop raise i've decided to call down
when the 3rd queen comes on the turn i'm c/r'ing and calling down a 3bet otherwise if just called im betting out on the river and calling a river raise |

Re: Pocket Aces in Early position.
only one card beats you... i feel like i would max this out on the last two streets w/o a read. is that reckless?

Nah. Not reckless at all.

[/ QUOTE ] I figure 2 hands would have beat me (AQ, KQ), 6 hands I would dominate (KK-88, 66). The flop raised scared me and I got afraid of the monster under the bed. I believe I should have bet/capped this out once the third Q came out, no? (P.S. new to the table, no reads) |

Re: Pocket Aces in Early position.
When the third queen pops out, I think I 3-bet the river. Call a cap and check/call the river...otherwise, bet out and call a raise on the river.
Losing FH to quads is not the worst hand you will ever face. |

Re: Pocket Aces in Early position.
I probably would have played about the same, but looking at it deeper I agree that betting the turn is the right move. A Qx could be out there, but its just as likely a pocket pair, which you've got beat.
