How can I play this hand better?
This is my first post, and I have to tell you that these forums have been very useful. This is going on memory so it may not be entirely perfect. Now to a recent hand:
Blinds 20/40 $5 SNG at UB.
Hero 1400
Villain in EP 900
Hero in MP with AQo
Villain calls 40
Hero calls 40
Flop comes Q 4 7 rainbow
Villain checks
Hero bets 100
Villain calls
Turn is 5
Villain checks
Hero bets 175
Villain calls
River is 3
Villain bets 300
Hero pushes all in
Villain calls
You can probably guess what the Villain had. So I know I played the river horribly. My question is, should I have bet more on the flop or turn to make him pay for drawing? I have run into these circumstances a number of times and haven't really ever picked up the right way to play them. Any suggestions are fine.
Thanks,
Han
