Literally first hand at the table so no reads. Too overaggressive? I just bet all the way without thinking. Meh. Comments?

I bet into UTG hoping to thin the field on the flop, since that didn't help should I be going for a turn c/r? Perhaps into call down mode when he caps the flop?

You think? I like making aces pay to see the river.

I don't know, can you make an argument for betting to induce some folding. If UTG does raise, maybe the other guys fold. Our hero is probably beat, but he has outs for the flush draw. Even if it is a slim value bet, it's paying out as much as 3to1. I like the turn bet.

I hope you don't mean pocket aces?

I would have expected the field to get thinned when you bet into UTG and he raised on the flop. However, when you look at it, after UTG raises, any player afterward is getting 23:2 to call. A lot of players ignore the fact that they could have to call more bets if there is a re-raise behind them. After UTG's raise is cold called twice, the pot just gets too big for anyone to fold even a weak draw. If you just call UTG's raise, the pot going into the turn is 14BB versus 18BB, but that won't have much of an effect on the rest of the hand, so 3-bet expecting UTG to cap and two more callers seems like an okay line. You have an overpair and a backdoor flush draw after all.

Take a look at SB's play. Every time he called it was two bets to him (aside from calling one and a half or so initially from the SB), and then he folds on the turn bet when the pot is giving him 21 to 1 odds. What do you think he could hold? Couple overcards (maybe AK-AJ) in hearts or something?
