There's not much to this one, but I thought the flop decision might be interesting/debatable.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 6 handed) converter

Button ($27.98)
SB ($43.52)
BB ($110.45)
UTG ($49.25)
MP ($29.20)
Hero ($183.12)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.25.
2 folds, Hero raises to $2, Button calls $2, 1 fold, BB calls $1.50.

Flop: ($6.25) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $5, Button folds, BB raises to $10, Hero calls $5.

I think he has a 3, hearts, or both. I call, planning on raising/betting any non-heart, non-A/6 on the turn.

Turn: ($26.25) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $20, BB calls $20.

River: ($66.25) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB bets $25, Hero raises to $80

YOu think your opponent is the type to call preflop with a 3 in his hand? My experience is that these flop minraiser are usually just a hand. Even on scary boards like this. So I would think it helps if you specify what you base your read on. It also means that I don't dislike just calling the raise here.

I like the line for the rest of the hand. What would you have done on a scary turn or river? What would you have done if the river had blanked?

Looks fine all the way to me. Gotta call the flop, overpairs can do that stupid minraise crap just as much as sets, and obviously the river is glorious, but it doesnt look like he a set (unless its 22), he has an overpair.

If you are confident in your read, great. But usually I would just call the flop and then fold the turn to continued aggression. Once he checks the turn, though, I play it exactly the same.
