$10 rebuy/AO: AQo UTG
Sitting nice with about 14,000 at 150/300/50.
I limp, four call to a flop of AQT, three-suited. I bet out 1200 and get one caller in UTG+1. He started the hand with about 22,000. Turn is a rag. I bet another 1,200 and get called. River is a J. Yuck. I check and call a bet of 5,000, hoping my opponent caught a smaller two pair and not his gutshot. Three questions: 1. Raise this preflop? I know we're not supposed to play superstitions or trends, but I have more bad luck with AQ than any other hand. Have I taken T.J.'s advice too much to heart about AQ? 2. When I'm just called on the flop, is it time to make my opponent pay on the turn with a huge bet? Or do I want to bet just enough to make him want to chase, even though he's not getting the odds to do so? 3. Do you call the river bet? |

Raise preflop to 900. Flop is fine. Bet more on turn, like 2.5-3k. Since you bet the turn so small, I'd lead the river for about 3k and fold to a push.

I think the hand was played well. And trust me, I totally see what you're sayin about AQ, it's my nemesis. I like the defensive check-call on the river, you're protecting yourself from a tough decision if you bet out and he pushes, while still getting value here for what figures to be the best hand.
