Default AQo from the BB

Sorry I don't have the nice hand converter format; it doesn't like PR histories.

Poker Room $1/$2, 9 players...

I'm in the BB and I get A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. 3 people limp, SB folds, I raise, and all the limpers call.

Limper #1 is reasonably tight so far. Limper #2 is the luckiest fish in the world -- calls with any draw to any hand and raises if he makes it; about as difficult to read as a stop sign. Limper #3 is new to the table; this is his fourth hand. For what it's worth, he's been pretty tight up to this point.

Flop: J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8.5 SB in the pot. I bet out, half as a continuation semi-bluff and half looking for information. Limper #1 calls, #2 folds, #3 calls.

Turn: J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5.5 BB. Not what I really wanted to see. I bet to see if I'll get raised, and everyone calls. Hm, maybe the AQ high is still good here, or someone feels like slowplaying their trips. Maybe one or both of them are drawing to a flush.

River: 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. No help. I check, Limper #1 checks, limper #3 bets... I decide that the 9:1 odds say that it's bad to fold, there isn't any flush possibility and it's possible he's going for some sort of weird river bluff. I call. The other limper folds.

Final pot: 10 BB.

Have I got flawed logic here at some point?
