Hero is dealt A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] in MP2

Preflop: UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, Hero raises to $40, MP3 folds, CO folds, Button folds, SB calls, BB folds

Flop: Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Pot: $90

SB bets $25, Hero ... ?

<font color="blue">I took his weak flop bet to be a blocking type bet, where he had either a flush or straight draw and wanted to see the turn cheaply. So...</font>

Hero makes is $100, SB calls

Turn: 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
Pot: $290

<font color="blue">When the turn came as a brick, I thought that betting 1/2 the pot would be big enough to make any straight or flush draw call incorrectly, yet be small enough that a hand like KQ might still pay me off.</font>

SB checks, Hero bets $150, SB raises all-in, Hero calls $60

River: 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)

Final Pot: $710
