55: AJs, am I trying too hard to be smart?
Please comment on my play on all streets, and help me decide what to do on the river, possibly tell me what I should have done to avoid the tough decision.
My thought process went along the lines of way ahead/way behind, keep the pot small, not going to get calls from worse hands, etc. 50/100 Tourney Texas Hold'em Game Table (NL) Seat 3 is the button Total number of players : 6 Seat 1: Sovari (930) Seat 2: VERN (820) Seat 3: Rancher_FL (1608) Seat 4: IBGUFIN (1660) Seat 6: trwillis99 (3977) Seat 9: Hero (1005) IBGUFIN posts small blind (25) trwillis99 posts big blind (50) ** Dealing down cards ** Dealt to Hero [ A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ] Hero raises (175) to 175 Sovari folds. VERN folds. Rancher_FL calls (175) IBGUFIN folds. trwillis99 calls (125) ** Dealing Flop ** : [ Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ] (t550) trwillis99 checks. Hero checks. Rancher_FL bets (90) trwillis99 calls (90) Hero calls (90) ** Dealing Turn ** : [ T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ] (t820) trwillis99 checks. Hero checks. Rancher_FL checks. ** Dealing River ** : [ 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ] (t820) trwillis99 checks. Hero checks. Rancher_FL bets (1343) Rancher_FL is all-In. trwillis99 folds. Hero...?

Preflop is fine. You have to bet on this flop. Given that you didn't, I'd probably fire a bullet on the turn since no one has shown big interest. If I played it like you, I'd fold the river.

Thoughts from a donkey:
Preflop OK Bet the flop, fold to a raise Bet the turn if you don't bet the flop Fold the river, really fast.

So, in other words, I am trying too hard to be smart. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
But if the wa/wb concept does not apply to this hand, when should I consider it? With smaller blinds/deeper stacks? Different type of hands?

Re: 55: AJs, am I trying too hard to be smart?
he probably reraises with AK preflop and AQ probably doesnt go all in on the river. when you check he probably puts you on a weak ace maybe weaker than his if he has A8 or something or he figures you will just give it up on the river. i probably grit my teeth and call, it just seems like this is likely a good bluffing spot for him. if he has Aq or something like KJ oh well. i wouldnt be surprised to see a med to high pair here either like JJ.

lead this flop with a bet
the villan's small bet on the flop and his check on the turn might mean he has a made hand (QT maybe) the river is an auto fold to the allin but defenitly lead that flop...it woulda made ur decisions on the turn and river a lot more easy
