Two AA at ($1-$2)

Hello and welcome to the forums. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Hand 1 looks pretty straight forward.

In Hand 2, it looks strange when UTG bets the turn after you had 3-bet preflop and raised the flop.

Nonetheless, I expect that UTG was most likely betting a high pair that you beat, such as KK or QQ. Thats because those pairs were overpairs to the board, and UTG may have been hoping that you had unimproved overcards, such as AK.

So, I would have continued your strong play by raising the turn.

The calling station on the button may very well have been calling with some kind of straight draw. So the T falling on the river is a worrying card when it puts 4 to a straight on the board.

Its very likely that the button made a hand, so I think that I would have done one of the following:

Either bet the river, and fold to a raise from the button. Or check the river as you did and then call the button's bet.

Although I think that you were probably beaten on the river, the pot is quite big and I would not want to risk losing the hand to a bluff.
