You can see the UTG is posting, and this is his very first hand at the table. The rest of the table is pretty loose passive.
If there's anything that I would change, I think I would raise the river because it's heads up.

Hey Aaron,
I don't know how you can't raise that river against an unknown. |

I think that river is a 100% must raise, always. I might raise the turn though. No guarantee he bets the river, and you might end up with only 2 BBs, instead of 3+.

Don't play games in this pot. It's 4.5 BB already Raise the flop and knock out SB and BB. Or make them call two.

But why, though? The only OC is the A. There aren't any draws. Any 3 has us [censored] anyway. Who are we trying to drive out?

You raise because you clearly have the best hand and want to get money in the pot. He may 3-bet you with a Q. It may get CC behind you. Maybe you wait til the turn, but I'm not waiting for the river ever here. |

Raise the turn. Although its likely UTG has a Q and will value bet most rivers, i think there is a good chance he has a PP or maybe even a weak Ace and will freeze up on the river.
Your thought process is good but with two hearts, 2 connected cards and the likelyhood of an ace sitting around i think you need to raise the turn... apart from all that its for value. |

[/ QUOTE ] The reason I didn't raise the turn is because that mimics a slowplayed monster. If he has just a weak ace, he's probably not calling the turn raise. If he has a medium pocket pair... I don't know. First hand means no reads and I have no clue what he's doing. However, I do think that many villains can find a turn fold with medium pocket pairs if I raise there. It's just too strong of a move. |

This is a very good hand to post. Flop and turn play are A+ poker, and something I haven't worked into my game well. The question for me is the river. Given the propensity of players to slowplay trips, I think you're good on the river often enough to raise. I'd probably even call a 3bet since the pot would be pretty big, but that's likely wrong.
