AJs not doing well for me these days...0 for 2!

[Garland]

Location: Ultimate Bet
Stakes: $.25/$1.00
Players: Loose and Poor

I had no read on relavant opponent until a few hands later when I raised in early position with JJ and he was one of 3 later callers with A10o. When Kxx flopped. I checked and he bluffed his way into the waiting arms of an AK button who promptly raised him all-in on the turn (and he called!). So the short version is...this opponent is very bad!

There is one limper. I look at A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and decide to try to buy it right there and raise to $2. Unfortunately, my left hand opponent calls as well the right hand limper.

Flop:

8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. I'm digging it.

Check. I bet $6. LHO stone calls. Hmmm...

Turn:

7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Now he could have a straight in the unlikelihood case he has 9/10. I bet heavy...$15. He calls again. I smell a set and my top pair is no good.

River:

10 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]....now a one card straight.

I check. He goes all-in for $17.20. I fold.

How was this sequence of plays?
