Gentleman... submitted for your review. Party Poker Pot-Limit Hold'em, $ Hero (10 handed) converterUTG+1 ($78)UTG+2 ($100.2)MP1 ($42.1)MP2 ($55.45)MP3 ($42.95)CO ($22.35)Button ($35.95)SB ($71.75)Hero ($49.65)UTG ($46.7)Preflop: Hero is BB with A:spade:, A:diamond:. SB posts a blind of $0.25. 3 folds, MP1 folds, MP3 folds, CO folds, SB calls $4.Flop: ($13.50) 6:club:, 4:club:, J:club: (2 players)SB checks, Hero bets $12.85, SB calls $12.85.Although the three clubs on the flop had me a little concerned, I felt I had to stay the aggressor. If he had red pocket K's or Q's, he might fold here, if he had red A-K, he would fold. If he put me on the A-K of clubs he'd fold there as well.If he had anything that would worry me, he'd smooth call or reraise. He smooth called, so I figured him for either the A-K clubs (most likely) or pocket K's or Q's with the club.Turn: ($39.20) 7:spade: (2 players)SB checks, Hero checks.While this card was a complete blank, I decided against making the bet here. I figured even a pot bet would still have left him with the appropriate odds to call if he either already had the nutz a strong possibility, or had an 11 outer with one card to come (if one of the 9 clubs or 2 K's would have beaten me). In my mind, it was the combination of the liklihood I was drawing dead, and the possibility that he could improve his hand more readily than I could, that I figured that between these two reasonable possiblities, I may as well go with the free card.River: ($39.20) Q:club: (2 players)SB bets $15, Hero folds.And there's the club. At this point the guy could have beaten my Aces with just about anything. I could have called $15 into what would have then been a $70 pot, but the odds of my having the nutz there, IMHO were less than 20%.Final Pot: $54.20[/b] Comments???[/b]

good lay down, but I might have made a medium turn bet to keep him from getting aggressive on the river, if he just called I would definately put him on the ace draw.which made the river a fold anyways but you might have seen a show down with out a bet depends on the oponnent.

Gotta bet more on the turn actually.I'm not convinced at all of a made flush, Ace or King of clubs doesn't raise either, but smooth calls as well.All in on the turn. He only has...31 or so left at this point? Since he has about 3/4 of the pot left, it's all in or check/fold (so bad obviously)You're ahead here at least 2/3 of the time. I think it's worth the push
