You have aces in the sb and only player in is UTG
hey all, I got 2 aces A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in the sb in a 200 NL game, blinds 1/2.
Only the UTG player is in and he limped, its folded around to me and I make it 8 dollars to go. Is this a good sized raise or should I have made it more? BTW, UTG is a kind of crazy, in a previous pot, he had raised, reraised 150 dollars out of his 200 dollar stack and folded to a guys all in on the river for about 40 more dollars. Only read I have on him thus far. Flop comes 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] pot is 18 dolllars I bet 20 into this pot, because there is a 2 flush on the board and didn't want UTG to draw, if he has a draw, for cheap. Mistake, or should I have checked here?

Re: You have aces in the sb and only player in is UTG
Without the A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] no way you should check this. If this guy is a maniac he will fire out a huge bet on the turn with any two cards if you show weakness. If he calls I bet 1/2 pot on the turn and check behind on the river.
However, the hand would get very interesting if he raised your flop bet [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Well, in the actual hand, I fired 20 and he called. The turn was the A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. And I fired a super weak sauce bet of 15 dollars out, in which he raised to 52.

I actually don't mind a check-call on the flop and lead turn here, keeps the pot very nicely under control
But betting the flop is ok too I guess

A non A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] turn or river may scare villain more than you. Did villain should two [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] or AJ?

[/ QUOTE ] what about his turn raise from 15 to 52, do i call here or just go for the gusto right now? I'm tired of reraising to much and people just folding, how do i maximize my win here?
