Should I have reraised on the turn or the river? I wasn't sure I had the best hand:

it looks fine. no, you shouldn't raise...you're only going to be called by a hand that beats you. if you're ahead, let him bet the hand for you...you'll make more when you're ahead and lose less when you're behind.

Tricky one. I think I´d have reraised him on the turn, and even though it is likely he has two pair here, I´d be more inclined to think that he´s drawing to a heart flush as well (maybe made a pair on the flop) and just hoped to take the play away from you when the ace came on.

I dont think you should reraise on the river. If you´d get called you´re probably beat.

Why would you want to raise the turn if you put him on a heart draw? This might make him fold now, or less likely to bluff on a missed river. If he has hearts, we definitely DON'T want him to fold, since we will probably get his entire stack if the river hits.

I agree, though, no raise on the river, can't think of too many hands that will call the raise that you beat.

Just curious what makes you think this. That guy isn't betting with any strength. I could see the guy having a weak king.

I would definitely call it down... but the villain is betting 1/4 of the pot. If he's got villain beat, he's not betting it very confidently.

Here´s why I figured there´s a good chance this guy had 2 pair ...
He called the preflop bet - which loads of weak players do with Ax.
Then he called the $3 on the flop, so I figured he must have had a piece of it.
Then an Ace came on the turn and he started betting from early position. Not unlikely this gave him two pair, I think.

well, he/she ended up just being a bad player. I was worried about the two pair also. Thanks for all the input.

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
BB has Tc Td (one pair, tens).
Hero has Ah Jh (one pair, aces).
Outcome: Hero wins $22.55. </font>

i would raise preflop to 1.5. i bet the pot on the flop. when he leads at me like that on the turn, i push maybe 33% of the time. it looks like he has 2 pair there or even a set but i have some folding equity against other hands and my flush outs are still live. also another reason to consider pushing is so that you do not face a difficult river decision if he makes a potsized bet there. folding this pot incorrectly would suck. since he only bet 3 dollars on the river, i'd make that crying call as well.
