lol! Look, I know what you're thinking because I thought that 8 months ago. They are PLENTY of great posters in the micro limits forum, and some of the SS guys (even some playing 15/30 and more) go there to help out now and then). Respect the structure of the forum. You'll be here soon enough.

I'm not sure how much I like the 3 bet on the turn after the 3rd player has folded. Admitadly I read the results, but my first read put villain on a straight there and he did the typical "I've got a monster lets get as many bets in as I can" raise that forced out 2nd villain. I'm not sure how much I like my pair of Aces in that spot with villain popping the turn and I don't know if a 5 is good so I'm drawing to 12 clean outs and 3 outs that worry me. 13 outs is still worse than 2:1 against so 3-betting here doesn't seem to be all that wonderful.

I do like the check raise on the river. I need to find spots like this to add it to my game because I rarely make this play and this is a GREAT example of a good spot for it.

good hand, but I'm not sure about the Turn 3-bet.

its pretty simple: you raised from out of position on the flop with an ace high board and led the turn. everybody thinks you have an ace. if they reraise you on the turn, they likely have a hand better than a pair of aces, don't 3-bet the turn.

of course, dont fold a pair of aces here either even if you don't have the flush draw, unless you have a read on the the villain that he def has a monster.
