Ideal Situation for AA...But...

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (8 handed) converter

Hero ($59.35)
SB ($141.08)
BB ($48)
UTG ($44)
UTG+1 ($38.50)
MP1 ($41.20)
MP2 ($57.45)
CO ($90.86)

No reads or stats on any of the players...first orbit at the table.

Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.25.
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to $2</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to $5</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $10</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, UTG calls $8, CO calls $5.

The only hands that I put the CO on were QQ;KK;AKs; and AA, with AA and QQ being less likely. I guess CO could have been trying to isolate UTG, but I hadn't seen enough to determine if that was the case. On the flop, I'm thinking that I'm either WA or WB, so I defaulted to a std size "continuation" bet.

Flop: ($30.75) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
UTG checks, CO checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $15</font>, UTG folds, CO calls $15.

Unfortunately, the smooth-call dosen't give me any new info, but now I was thinking he had AKs, or AK.

Turn: ($60.75) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
CO checks, Hero bets $34.35 (All-In), CO calls $34.35.
Doea anyone check behind here? And if you do check behind, do you call any decent sized river bet?

River: ($129.45) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: $129.45

Make it 20-25 on flop...besides that I like it

[fimbulwinter]

make it 15-20 preflop and push the flop, unless your opponents are very good and then you may have to CC PF and play some poker (only do this with reads, PT history, etc.)
