Wanna hear some thoughts on my line . . . flaming is welcome!

Looking at the hand I think I bet too small on the turn, because I'm fairly sure he has a flush draw (and not top pair) after just calling behind on the flop.

On the river, he is never calling with a flush draw, but may peel lightly - therefore I bet just below pot.

personally, i dump AQo UTG at a full table.

as played, not really sure what the purpose of the turn bet was.

flop and river seem ok.

Was the turn bet based on a read?

[Al]

Why did you bet the turn?

[TurnRiva]

also why 4x, is that your standard open?

and prob fine at this limit, but the semi blocker bet on turn, will leave you open to being pushed around in bigger games, as I feel its quite transparent..

Rest is fine, not folding AQo utg at .10/.25 personally...

[thkcduckworth]

i don't think betting the turn is that bad as it i'm getting a flush or straight draw to put some more money in the pot

suggestions to why not to bet the turn?

also why 4x, is that your standard open?

4x is pretty standard at this limit on this site . . . why? what do you suggest Tim?

[TurnRiva]

3x ep 2.5x lp?

I think its very player dependant (IE depends on your game), I like to play smaller pots and have pot control, I feel it allows me to cbet comfortably more, and then make the same 2barrell/3b decisions more comfy..

In reality in a cash game when you can reload its fine, I was just checking that you weren't randomly 4x'ing a hand, because again it makes your ranges transparent..

[TurnRiva]

also, dont forget, just because it's standard at that game and limit, doesnt mean you have to do it too, if it suits your game, great go for it.. if you know what i mean..

[thkcduckworth]

this may be bad, but when i open to 3x in early position i tend to get a table of callers . . . which i suppose isn't too bad when i have something solid, but in reality its not great playing pots 7 handed

it must be noted - from experience - the play on PKR is very loose, so opening 4x pre with Ace-big punishes many players that play Ace-little as you can get three streets of value with top pair
