Please comment on every street. Should I have bet more on the turn, and what do you do on the river after both players check.

Will post results later

Bet a little more on the flop.

I would probably bet something on the river as well, but check is ok.

Since you hold the A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] you can probably make a river bet without too much fear of a push from a lower flush or a straight. You get value from all under sets and 2-pair hands that are likely.

I thought about this. The reason I didn't value bet the river was that was concerned one of them was calling me down with a smaller flush. I thought it was unlikely the 10 was out there considering the preflop raise, and the post flop action considering there was a flush on the board. I agree that I wouldn't get played back at, but but with 2 people calling me I was concerned about a flush so I checked.

pot flop/check turn

Re: Set of Aces, Let me know what you think
 

Why check the turn, I was concerned I didn't bet enough. I have Top set, and nut flush draw? Not necessarily disagreeing i just want to understand your reasoning.
