playing aces #3

[kent2233 0]

In a previous thread discussing long poker sessions I made comment about having aces cracked multiple times in one session. Someone suggested that I post in the strategy section to see if I played them correctly... so each topic will have one hand:PokerRoom 0.25/0.50 Hold'em (7 handed) internettexasholdem.comPreflop: Hero is MP1 with Ad, Ah. 1 fold, Hero raises, MP2 calls, 1 fold, Button calls, 1 fold, BB calls.Flop: (8.60 SB) 7d, 8h, Ts (4 players)BB checks, Hero bets, MP2 folds, Button folds, BB calls.Turn: (5.30 BB) 5c (2 players)BB checks, Hero bets, BB calls.River: (7.30 BB) 6s (2 players)BB checks, Hero bets, BB calls.Final Pot: 9.30 BB

Does this mean you're checking behind? The OP is in position here.Personally I don't really see any problem with the way you played the hand. The board texture really sucks for Aces, but the villain is check/calling so there is not reason to think that we're badly beat. Without reads I might check behind on this river fearing a check/raise. But I think it's close and a value bet is probably more correct.

Oops, how'd I miss that??I only check behind here if he's tricky. Jeff

w/o reading replies..I c/c this river. It seems he is still drawing on the turn, and one of his drawing hands made it on the river. Rest is good.
