    Default What's your play here, and why?

    £50 NL, 6 handed, I get AQo in 2nd position and raise to £2, get one called in the SB. No reads as i'm multi tabling, but I assume that hes a standard player.
    Flop comes A 7 3 with 2 diamonds, SB checks and i bet £3, SB calls.
    his possible hands now include a flush draw, a set or an ace.
    The turn comes a Q which isnt a diamond, he checks again, and i bet £9, he then raises to £20, we both have around £60.
    What to do here?

    i push because i think your hand is the best. i go broke with roughly 100bb stacks and top two pair on uncoordinated board.

    was the ace a diamond? is your queen a diamond? he might raise the turn with something like KdQd or top pair + nutflush draw.

    Best card in the world came on the turn. Push

    I'm not sure whether I made the correct decision, but i folded and he mucked. I had shown strength preflop, on the flop and on the turn, then makes a small raise which screams "call me". He probably puts me on something like AK, so the hands that he may possibly have that i think he would play like that are A7, A3, 77 or 33. He's more likely to call out the SB with a PP then a weak ace, i just thought that i could get my money in, when im more confident with my hand, i think if he had a pair and a flush draw he would either call, or raise AI. Any opinions of this reasoning?

    I don't like it at all.

    You raise with AQ.. hit TWO pair on turn and STILL fold. What would you prefer... NOT to hit your two pair?

    Why are you raising AQ? Are you hoping to land a Queen, an Ace... what?

    Seems to me that you might as well just LIMP this hand and not raise it if this is how you are going to play it.

    folding here loses you money. if you had a read he was a nit and this was a game much tougher than 50NL, maybe you can fold.

    bad bad fold

    What hand do you think he plays this way? in hindsight i think your right, and that he may have AK or Ax for 2 pair, and if he does have a set i've got 4 outs.

    On a side note, would any of you be interested if i made a short 20 minute video of me multi tabling, It would be informative if any of you could offer some advice if i did put a video up, and it might be informative to you. i 6 table $100NL, so if anybody is interested just say.
