Problem I've been having with my sets

    Default Problem I've been having with my sets

    Not sure why the converter isn't putting the hearts next to the A and K.

    From what I saw, button was very tight and agressive. A few hands ago, I raised $2 with QQ and he reraised to $9 and I folded. Next hand I raised to $1.50with AQo and got out of the way after a 567 all spades flop. Then this hand came up, I figured he had AK, and the board looked pretty harmless, except for JT. Does check raising this flop against a semi-aware player, make it easier for him to get away from?

    My nut camping has worked well over the last almost 10,000 hands, but spots like this make me wonder, even though I have the roll to move up to 50NL, I don't know if I have the ability to just yet.

    Party Poker
    No Limit Holdem Ring game
    Blinds: $0.10/$0.25
    10 players
    Converter
    I had $19 and Button had $24 stacks.

    Pre-flop: (10 players) Hero is UTG+1 with A♦ A♥
    UTG calls, Hero raises to $1.5, 5 folds, Button calls, 3 folds.


    Flop: 5♠ K♦ A♣ ($3.6, 2 players)
    Hero checks, Button bets $3, Hero calls.


    Turn: Q♠ ($9.6, 2 players)
    Hero bets $7.5, Button raises all-in $19.75, Hero calls all-in $6.4.

    Look good?

    Thanks

    if you really think he has AK you should lead the flop

    Yea. Leading the flop is good, because if he's as aggro as you say, a raise from him would make an easy call/turn push on your part.
    My sig is too much for you to handle.

    Just me but I would reraise the flop telling him that this hand is for stacks. Of course, knowing how aggressive he is, I would expect a push from your reraise and he can expect my call. Of course, I probably get stacked by JTs but that's the only hand I see as being ahead.

    If you check-raise flop, push it all in. Get the money in while you're ahead. If he has AK/KK he won't be able to let go. I wouldn't think a tight player calls a big raise with JT.....

    I also like the lead/call push line suggested.
