Final Pot: 17.25 BB

After his flop raise I'm thinking AQ, AA, KK, QQ, TT, maybe KQ, JJ, 99. Was almost thinking fold the turn UI. Is this too passive?

So I changed my mind, called, and hit the straight. Do you like this check-raise? I'm not worried about hearts, that seems too unlikely. Am I right that most of the time here I just sucked out?

I would raise PF. The rest looks fine.

Raise preflop.

I like the river c/r because the backdoor hearts draw came in, which makes it less likely that you'll get 3-bet if you're up against an overplayed AK. Plus, it allows you to trap Button for an extra bet (although I'm assuming by your read that he's calling 2 as easily as 1 with any made hand here). It's also possible that CO will simply fold a weaker hand if you bet out here.

I'm not folding this hand on the turn; I have to think that you have 6 good outs, if you're not ahead already.
