Attempted Blind Steal

Absolute Poker .5/1, 8 handed. Table has been very tight and somewhat aggressive...BB just sat down recently but has seemed a little looser pre-flop than the others, but just as tight postflop, only thru a few orbits tho.

I couldn't get the hand converter to work, I hope this looks all right.

Not sure about the turn and river action. When he first raised on the turn I thought he had just hit a single pair of aces, but the cap made me wonder about an unlikely slowplayed str8 w. 45 or possibly A6s for a better two pair. After the cap I didn't really think I was ahead but felt I had to call down w/aces up. Did I overplay the turn, underplay the river, what should I be considering here?

Yep this is good.

Re: Attempted Blind Steal

Don't think you overplayed the turn. River is OK, but I don't think it would be bad to raise it, either, BB may just be stacking off by then.

Re: Attempted Blind Steal

Would have played it the same

Re: Attempted Blind Steal

I think when BB c/r the turn, that he probably had at least a pair of A's beat. Likely possibilities may have been A2,A3,A6 or perhaps a slow-played set. However he may also have had Ax and thought that you were overplaying a smaller pocket pair.

So I think that I would have called the turn raise and river bet, as the least expensive way to see a showdown.
