Hand that really confused me...

I'm a new poster here but longtime reader. I've been playing everything from 2/4-5/10 and i came across a hand on ps that really confused me today.
UTG seems a little on the tight side, and i haven't really seen him get out of line... button on the other hand is pretty fishy and i think i could stack him if he has top pair or better. UTG's cold-call of my reraise really confused me and in retrospect i probably should have either thrown out of a blocking bet or called river getting 2.5-1. What could UTG possibly have?

AdXd?

That's a tough river fold - does a set play it that way?

He limped with Aces and got lucky.

yeah i probably should have called... but then again i don't think UTG is loose enough to cold call a raise and reraise cold with just some sort of flush draw. he's a pretty good player and it couldn't be ATd because i have the ten in my hand. I also don't think he'd call with 64d UTG.

I took that into consideration and the more i thought about it the more it seemed likely... was just wondering if others thought that too

It's either that or he missed his draw - a read thing i guess.

The way he played it, looks like a set or busted flush draw where he spiked an ace on the river. Would villain limp 33/55/TT utg is what I would want to know here.

EASY river call. can you pm me villain's name? (this might change things imo).

i don't understand your river play. i would either value/block-bet and fold to a big raise, or check-call a reasonable bet to pick off a busted draw. why did you suddenly decide you were losing?

My guess is he had:

A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
or maybe
A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

I don't think he limped with aces because then he would certainly has bet the flop.
