you won the pot but it seems like an uphill battle after the flop. I would have folded after the flop to 3 other players even if theyre all limpers. Maybe I just play to tight. Im relatively new to poker and trying to improve my game so my advice is probably not that great. I just figure that being to tight is better than being to loose so I dont lose my bankroll trying to learn this game.

Yeah cap it. I don't think UTG was slow playing a boat. And highly unlikely that he has KK given his PF limp. I think he's caught a lower flush. If he has K8, oh well, but now you know he's a bit loose.

I play this hand totally different. I would reraise preflop with AQs in the CO. On the flop I would fold if bet or raised before me (maybe I'm too tight). The turn is an easy call, that is the only street where we play the same. The river I would cap. My guess is that sb had 7, UTG was slowplaying an 8(i'm not sure if he had the boat though). You probably won the pot. How far off am I?

Default Results

UTG shows 9s3s MHIG. I'm trying to become more agressive these days because my poker tracker agression numbers are terrible. I had two good chances to do it here.

This is easy for me to say after reading the results. . . but what the hell? Why not raise PF and river? Even if the villains came alive at the river, you are still going to call. . .

I'm a newbie but here it goes.

I would cap.

UTG has been calling all the way and wakes up on the river with Ks. I would put him on two pairs or a flush, either way you got him beat.

SB has been betting all the way but stops on the Ks. That says he is afraid of an overpair which means he has no boat and your flush is clean.

IMHO, Standard disclaimers apply, batteries not included.
