Thanks cardman, minsim, jeffrey for your advice, and limpin for gettting the discussion going.

I agree with the strategy of limiting the pot size since 1 pair post flop is weak most of the time in a ring game, especially with no read of the villain. May be being passive post-flop is the key, unless if villain senses the weakness and try to steal the pot with an all-in bet, then......fold under pressure???

The way I played it was to represent pocket Ts with c/r at the turn and value bet at the river, but I guess the 5BB raise from EP may have made that less liekly and not many people will fold AA at the river.

Thanks again, I learn a lot here.

Cheers.

Mike
