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.com

Preflop: 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

I check/call this river. Other than that it's fine.

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.

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.

Bet the river in position.

Remember what stakes we're dealing with here.

Nice hand.
