How would you have played this?

[TALLBrad]

This is the type of hand I seem to be playing during the past week. It's also about the 3rd example I could give from just this single session in the first 15 minutes:

Villian is a calling station: 27%vpip, 2% PFR, 0.75 Aggression after 150 hands of observation.

Ultimate Bet 0.50/1 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, BB calls, MP1 calls.

Flop: (6 SB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB folds, MP1 calls.

I have Top Pair, best kicker, I value bet and make the flush draws pay for the flush.

Turn: (4 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP1 calls.

Great, WTF, I think that I should bet and see if there is any aggression back or just a call, maybe he still has a worse Ace.


River: (6 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises</font>, Hero folds.

This just pisses me off. For a period of about 1 week I've been on the downside of varience. I figured with such a low aggression figure and the "raise on the river" bet I was beat, any club and he's got me. Would you have played this any different?

Final Pot: 9 BB
