Default AQo on a passive table, one cold caller

Hi,

First post in a long time. Be please gentle [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

The hand was played at Interpoker 1/2. Have been at the table for something like three orbits. Has a couple of reads on a few players but not on the villian in this hand, he has done nothing to stick out so far and he has only been at the table for one orbit or so. The table as a whole is tight (exept for a couple of players) and passive.

The hand is eight handed. Hero is UTG + 1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

Pre flop
UTG folds
Hero raises
1 folds
Villian cold calls
Rest folds

Flop J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (5.5 SB)
Hero bets
Villian calls

To small pot to make this move (especially without backdoor flush draw)? I decided that the chances of me being ahead plus my chances to hit one of my overcards would make me call a bet. Since this table had been tight and passive I thought that if I was going to call I would be better of betting, giving him the option to fold.

Turn T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3.57 BB)
Hero checks
Villian checks

He didn't fold to my flop bet. Shoot again or try to see the river for free? I decided to check/fold.

River Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3.57 BB)
Hero bets
Villian raises
Hero calls

I hit one of my overcards so I bet out. Weak call of his raise?

HU I'd bet the turn too. On the river what can you do but cry and call?

The flop bet is 100% standard. You're probably ahead. No free cards.

I would also bet the turn without hesitation. Again, you're probably ahead against a single opponent.

On the river, you pretty much have to call the raise.

Thanks,

1: If he had raised me on the flop - call and check/fold turn UI? Or is this weak?
2: Agains two opponents (both behind me), same play?

If I get raised on the flop HU, yeah I'll call the raise and check-fold UI. The pot isn't large enough to justify calling a turn bet.

Against two opponents, I would play the same was as against just one. For me at least, two opponents is the cut-off for betting the turn.

Ok, thanks. Next time I will bet the turn as well then. I guess my post were result orientated. Villian turned over QJ [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
At least I got to learn the concept of reversed domination when I looked it up in SSH after the hand [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
