Played a hand yesterday I would like to get you guys thoughts on.

Hero CO: 175.00
Villian UTG+1: 225.00

3 limpers, Hero makes it $8.00 with AQo
Villian calls

Flop: 4d10s4h

Villian Checks, I Cbet $16.00, villian calls.

Turn: 6c

I bet $35.00, Villian moves all in. Easy fold.

What should I have done differently?
Check the turn? not cbet the flop?

Thank you,

Ryan

Not post this hand in a thread is what you should have done differently... What's the point of this?

OP i would raise pre to at least 16, bet flop smaller, check turn against unknowns. Against some villains i do double or triple barrel tho

Preflop raise is too small unless table is very tight. $12-$15 would be more typical here. Flop c-bet looks fine. Turn requires more information on villain, a mix of checks and bets will be right here against most. I would be checking more often then betting in general though. Obvious fold to the shove because all value hands and some bluffs are beating you.

This isn't thread worthy. This is like saying I raised pre with AT and a tight guys reraises me out of the BB, do I fold?

I completely disagree. There are many things to talk about here. Like not c-betting the flop because of its texture for one or whether the turn is good for a double barrel.

If you don't like the thread content get the hell out and move on to something "worthy"

Very standard spot, not bad to talk about these once in a while.

At the casinos I play at, I will never open to less than 10, and 10 is allowing the gamblys to stay in cheaply giving me bad RIO.

What was your reason for opening to 8? I will usually go 5x + 1bb/limper in LP for 1-2 games. This is a decent double barrel spot, but I would prefer a PFR to 15, c-bet 1/2 pot and double barrel 1/2 pot.

Double and tripling is something to do with great caution in 1-2 because 75% of the players will not fold tpmk. In order for a double to be profitable here, you need to be sure you are up against a player who will fold one pair.

give a description of the villain
in a vacuum raise bigger pre, cbet or cb is both ok on the flop
if you cbet you can continue barreling on any card 9+ but T
on this turn its very rarely that the typical live player folds any pair

i think you played it fine. you got position and you had control. good hand to raise with. fine board to c-bet with. fine turn to barrel i think. b/f is the go-to line at 1-2. i wouldn't risk paying this guy off with 2 overs even if he was bluffy. i suppose you could check turn depending on your read/gut/stack sizes. but i think you played it fine. against one villain i'm almost always c-betting that board if checked to me.

however, if this particular villain starts testing you and others regularly like this, then tighten up your starting and continuation ranges and then let him stack off.

Too big on Flop ... It screams 'go away' ... What are you 'scared' of that you need to bet this much? I would call with any pp/Tx holding. If your PF raise was bigger, then you could bet $16+ on Flop but this board really has no draws so your bet should look more 'value' type (1/2 to 2/3 pot).

Turn is same thing ... 'go away' bet ... Really no reason to 2nd barrel here with stack sizes and V calling a pot sized bet. Nice try on Flop, lets see if we can hit the River by checking it through. Easy board for V to c/r with even holding air IMO.

Next time ... GL
