Opening up my game, big pot with a marginal hand

    Default Opening up my game, big pot with a marginal hand

    I had a strong read that buttons raise was simply to isolate the limper and didnt indicate a strong hand, so I decided that it was a profitable spot for a 3-bet pf hoping to take it down right away or alternatively with a bet on the flop. When he called on the flop I was done with it until the turn came. Button is 43/4.

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Button ($325.92)
    Hero ($309.05)
    BB ($200)
    UTG ($291.80)
    MP ($461.59)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with A, T. Hero posts a blind of $1.
    1 fold, MP calls $2, Button raises to $5, Hero (poster) raises to $15, 1 fold, MP folds, Button calls $11.

    Flop: ($36) 7, A, Q (2 players)
    Hero bets $26, Button calls $26.

    Turn: ($88) T (2 players)

    What is the plan for the rest of the hand?

    i check raise allin sometimes, i bet out other times

    when you reraise without great cards, try to do it in position or when there is alot of money in the pot to be won

    button is 43/4,
    So opp limps a lot but raises only AQ or better (4% is AQ/AK/99+)

    Erm, i dont like this becasue 4% suggests he isnt stealing a lot of blinds without goods unless your sample stats are from a small number of hands which makes reads irrelavant.

    If the stats are good, then im trying to showdown cheap, we only really beat KK/AK thats in his range.
    If the stats are no good and this is an unknown then im probably playing a big pot so id bet enough on the turn to get it all in on the river or else c/r all in on the turn.

    Shouldn't have really posted his stats, small sample. Anyways I checked the turn he bet $65 and I called. Checked the river to him and I should have folded when he made a nice $125 value bet but I couldnt and I really wanted to see what he had. JKo 4 teh Win!! I got punked.
