Missed value bet?

[r8ed]

I wish the Qs didn't come out. Either way, should I have min-raised and hope for a call or push? I didn't want to leave money behind as I was sure he probably had AK and hoped AQ. All I know about him (from full ring) is shows down winners > 50%.

First of all, was this full ring or 4-handed? I think you definitely need to get more money in on either the flop or turn or both. That turn bet sucks. I think you lost a lot of value there. Make it at least $20. I like raising the flop hard, at least to $15, then depending on if it's full ring or short handed and how aware villian is, I might either bet or check the turn. I'd lean more towards betting if it was shorthanded and checking if it was a full table and if villian was an aware player. If I bet the turn it's probably around $30, and if I check the turn I bet full pot on the river (repping a busted flush draw). As played tho, river push is fine, since villian only has about $50 left, and anything other than a push would smell really fishy.

Also, how can you be so sure that he has AK/AQ? Is a flush draw out of the question?

I think a flush draw is out of the question (and did at the time) - he's not much of a chaser, especially against a reraise. That's why I figure he has an Ace (maybe two pair?). If he had AQ, then he probably would have called the river push. He was fairly tight preflop and he raised. $2 is his standard - never varies even in full ring.

In hindsight my turn bet was too weak. At the time I wanted to bet enough to get some money in there but appear a little weak so he could make a confident reraise or river bet. If I was smarter, I would have bet $20 and got him more committed. I think anything too high may scream set and scare him off.
