How should I have played this AQo?

I feel like I shouldn't even have raised this pf. Maybe just check on the river?

I might raise this flop, but I don't have any real problem with the way you played it.

Not raising pre-flop and not betting the river would be pretty big mistakes, IMO.

I think I would play i the same and be prepared to be paying off a full house. I'm kind of new at responding but that's my 2 cents.
You might try posting your thoughts at each street.

looks okay to me... i'm interested in hearing why it wouldn't be played like this

the only questionable thing on the hand is calling the raise preflop, but you have backdoor nut flush draw, gutshot to nut straight and 2 overcards so I think thats fine to call there your getting the odds.

I'll assume you meant the flop raise, not PF. Hero was the only one raising PF.

There's nothing questionable about calling the flop raise. He's getting 23-1 here. He's 11-1 just to make his straight, plus he has his overcards/backdoor outs. It could be two cold to Hero and he would still be justified in making the call. Shoot, if it was two cold to me, I might just go ahead and cap it, given how many people are left in the hand.

Ok chill, didn't see the hand closely, thought he cold called 2 raises on the flop, which is very questionable because not of his outs are clean. Yes you definatly do call just one more bet to you on the flop. sorry for reading it wrong

Check/call the river. Everything else looks fine. Sometimes they hit a boat, sometimes your straight will beat their two pair. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
