    Default Help me out here

    I hate these types of hands. Here are my questions: 1. Raise on the flop good, or should I fold there? I wouldn't even think of flat-calling. 2. Bet on the turn a good idea? 3. Bet or check behind on the river?

    To me his lead-out bet says "I have an ace." When he flat-called my raise, I thought he had a weak queen and I was dead. Not sure why I bet the turn, was thinking that might be a bad idea, but I didn't want to give him an opening to bluff me out. By the river I was happy to get the hand over with as cheaply as possible. Was I right or wrong?

    His check reamed weakness as he bet the flop called the raise then starts to check and just flat calls.

    I would have probably done the same as well. If he bet the river I might have folded.

    By the way, it turned out he had a weak ace (A3o is about as weak as it gets) and I won the hand.

    Nice play.
    I find myself checking behind on the river with scary flops like that.
    Dunno wether its good or bad. I have probably not made as much as i could have but ive avoided some traps as well.
