60-120 AA hand

Great 8 handed 60-120 game at the Commerce. I open raise in second position with red aces. Solid aggresive player to my left 3 bets me. BB calls all in and I call. My image at this point is a big more LAG than it usually is.

Flop: Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I check, MP bets, I raise, MP three bets, I four bet and he calls.

Turn 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I bet and he calls.

River: Brick

I check...

If you have a LAG image, why not 4-bet preflop?
That aside, I like your play. He looks like he has a diamond draw, and since it missed, he will probably fold to a river bet. You look like AQ here, so even if he has a small pair with the flush draw, he would probably fold to a river bet. OTOH, when you check, if he has a pair to go with his flush draw, he may value bet it thinking you were overplaying AK or something and gave up on the river. And if he was slowplaying a set or something, you lose 1 by check calling instead of 2 by having to call a raise.

I get the impression that your opponet is in call down mode. I bet the river also.

This makes absolutely no sense. My math may be a little off here, but last I checked 240 was more than 120.

I like it, it looks like you gave up on pushing a huge draw or a slightly worse pair than a Q. Also, if he had a draw he will be forced to bet. The momentum of hands at this level will cause the player you are facing to bet more often than he normally would because of all of your flop action. It's a strange phenomenon, it's almost like an ego thing --- "all that betting, well now I'm going to make you fold, bitch!" Anyways, at this limit I think he's value betting(or bluffing) and calling far more than enough to make this profitable.
