TPTK flop play
 

I'm trying some 50nl on party to warm up for my trip to vegas next month. My normal game is 1/2 LHE short handed, so I'm unclear on a lot of NL ring concepts such as applying the proper amount of aggression post flop. So here is a hand I've got some doubts on.

Villion has been limping very loosley and has shown two bluffs in the half hour I've been at the table.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (10 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

CO ($76.65)
Button ($32.40)
SB ($132)
BB ($47)
UTG ($11.65)
UTG+1 ($43.90)
UTG+2 ($55.30)
MP1 ($36.75)
Hero ($52.60)
MP3 ($42.75)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.25.
4 folds</font>, Hero raises to $2</font>, 1 fold[/i]</font>, CO calls $2, 1 fold</font>, SB (poster) calls $1.75, 1 fold</font>.

Flop: ($6.50) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero bets $5</font>, CO raises to $10</font>, SB folds, Hero raises to $25</font>, CO folds.

Final Pot: $41.50

10 handed, I muck ATo in MP2.
Domination, domination, domination.

On the flop, call min-raise evaluate on the turn.

aye, I think you might have just gotten lucky to make a better hand fold here: perhaps 2pair

Re: TPTK flop play
 

Looks OK. This is about the first position where you'd want to raise ATo. You can get by with just limping it in as well. TPTK, but not a pretty flop, very coordinated. Some NL'ers minraise here with a flush draw, straight draw, pair + straight, etc. I think you ran into one of those and were fortunate on your 3-bet. There's not really a good line here as it's a bad spot once he raises you on this board because it can mean so many different things. If he had put in a real raise, you could make an argument for dropping the hand.
