Hand#1
reads: BB - VERY loose, calls down with all kinds of horrible junk, only folds when obviously clobbered, will only raise with made hands. UTG, very loose PF raiser (A8o, A4s from early pos), MP1, loose pf, weak caller post flop. Rest of the table was your usual loose, passive types.

Hero on button with AA

Preflop: UTG raises, 2 folds, MP1 calls, 3 folds, Hero raises, SB folds, BB calls, UTG calls, MP1 calls. (12.5SB)

Flop: A, 9, 6 rainbow

UTG checks, MP1 bets(?), Hero raises, BB cold calls, UTG folds, MP1 calls.(9BB)

Ok, at this point my concern was BB's cold call. I figure I'm way ahead at this point and the raising MP1 would've forced BB and UTG to fold, but the BB didn't budge.

Turn: Jack

MP1 checks, Hero bets, BB calls (with what???), MP1 folds (11BB)

River: 7

BB checks, Hero ???

Johnc,

This is a ridiculously easy bet. If you're asking seriously about this one and not jokingly then there must be an enormous amount of hands where you're missing out on river value bets. You should try posting some more that you're been checking behind on. For example, in this hand you're asking about whether you should bet top set against an opponent who "calls down with all kinds of horrible junk". Make you're hand TT and repost it in a couple of weeks and I'll bet you get a split response. Make it QQ or KK and it should be a concensus to bet. Just say it was a live game and there was one ace flipped up accidentally by the dealer before the flop and another flipped up by a player mucking after the deal...since you know there is only one ace left in the deck.
