AA no good?

No reads on the opp, but something about this said either "busted draw" or "made 2 pair" and the river bet was my stack... thoughts?

River: ($117) J:heart: (2 players)

Busted draw, how is that possible?
He could have flopped a straight
He could have turned a flush

Nothing about his betting or the texture of the board says busted draw or two pair. From what I see, he probably has the flush. Anyways what did he end up having?

One more thing, that river bet usually means he has you beat and wants you to believe he's making a move. Overbetting the pot usually gets more calls than say a 3/4 pot bet. A lot of people do this at 100/200 NL.

I think there are too many possibilites that have you beat. How come you just called the flop reraise? I jack it up here.

PF: fine, and somehow you actually ended up w/ position vs. the single BB caller, which is great.

Flop: sometimes the $12 bet accomplishes the exact same thing as a $17 bet (pot bet), hopefully that was the case here. but my hunch is that you should have raised it for the full $17. when he minreraised for another $12, here is your chance to bet the $45 that you wanted to bet in the first place but didn't have the right spot to do it in. Take it. I say reraise hard here and make him earn it if he's behind.

turn: as played, I think you have to reraise here. he leads out for a little more than 1/3 of the pot. so he either is trying to control pot size or he wants you to go over the top. But since a worthwhile reraise here is going to be something like $75+ now, you can see why it's better to get that out of the way on the flop for half the price and less trouble on the board.

river: i groan and fold here. you can get in better spots for 3/4 of a buyin.

I see now why my flop call was bad, but most minraises I've seen in a while were to not scare off the other players, this made me believe 2 pair.

Once I caught one piece of my backdoor draw, I was just gonna play it accordingly. Figure at this point AA no good

Indeed

I might raise the turn and hope for a free showdown, if unimproved on the river.
