Default Casino Arizona 20-40 w/ 30-60 half kill

loose agreesive table and the 30-60 kill is on(he is the button also)...i look at the black aces and limp first in after four folders...cut folds button peels it to 60...others fold,i call headsup! $150 pot

flop is 227 rainbow ..i check, he bets, i raise, he reraises, i cap..$390 pot

turn is the Ace of diamonds. I bet he mucks..game over

Question 1) do you limp in first here?
2) do you reraise preflop?
3) do you check the turn?

thougts welecomed.

I think you probably played it fine. I would have reraised pre-flop, or initially raised. Either way, I would have made the last bet I could there. Same on the flop, I would have bet and raised like you did. How is there a cap heads up? When I am out of position, I try not to get too fancy with check raises unless I know I am against an aggressive player. I know I read somewhere (I think HPFAP) that the prefered method is to check-raise the turn often, but maybe my timing stinks and I give away way too many free cards.

this hand must ahve occured during the day (so tight, eheh).

check the turn and river hell probably fire or bet river and hell probably call.

if at night he could have KQs for example. (checking river better here).

Default No way you give a free card here!

You dont have the nuts plus if he has 77 or A2, 23 he will come along.
Giving a free card here is a huge mathmatical error.
Why give someone unlimited odds to draw to the nuts AND let them do it for free!

If he has 77 he may bet you to the end and even re-raise which is what you want.

If he has a weak hand he won`t call many bets anyway before folding.

The player has already raised on the flop so would be a prime candidate for catching something on the flop.

Default Re: Hey Drew

I'm probably not the Drew you are thinking of. I haven't played at Harrahs in over a year. I play mostly online at paradise under the same name and home games these days. I think maybe we (in general) should put email addresses in our profiles. I'm sure others aren't interested in these personal discussions.

Huh? He's got Ace's full. What hand on earth that could draw out on Ace's full would not bet the turn when checked to? Furthermore, no matter what hand his opponent has.. unless it is 22... leaves his opponent drawing to at most one out. Your free card comment makes no sense at all here.
