But I Have Trip Aces!

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Flop - hit my ace, call down.

Turn - Hit 2 aces, he probably doesn't have one - Raise! Plus, he might not believe that I have an ace and look me up.

River - Looks like a semiweak river lead, I'll raise and hope to get paid off, fold to a 3-bet.

River is really what I have questions about. Do you think he's bet/folding enough so that my raise isn't worth it since I'm smoked if I get 3-bet?

No, I think he has you completely owned enough that you'd much rather put in 1 bet than 2.

Sigh. Good hand reading - He had AQ and I was boned. I'm working my way out of my first 300 BB downswing so I'm trying to question everything more closely these days, even things that ought to be more standard.

Nice analysis. This woulda been an easy river raise for me, but aafter reading the reasoning I'll have to look more closely into situations like these. Thanks!
