The Other Doyle Brunson

[tradingman123]

2/4 NL on Party.

Hero (580) is button with A/Q off. EP limps, LP (340) who appears solid raises to 12. I call and so does the EP. Flop is Ah, Th, 4d. EP cks, LP bets 25, I call and so does the EP. Turn is 6d (pot is ~100), EP cks, LP bets 40, I call, EP calls. River is 7d (Pot ~ 220), LP bets 50, I call.

Comments on all streets please, results to follow.

I guess this is uninteresting. VIllain tabled A/K and I was just wondering if any of you finds a fold here at any point along the way...

Not really. I like a raise to 100 or 120 on the turn. It charges the EP guy more if he's drawing, may fold AK sometimes (or fold or get more money from AJ), gives you an easy fold if he re-raises, and you can check behind the river if he calls. You also avoid a tough decision if he makes a big river bet and was milking you prior with something huge.
