This is my first time playing limit, i'm trying to mix in some ring games and I was told to start with limit at first. What my main purpose is right now is to try to put people on hands, on this hand I put the guy on AK, KK or QQ preflop. I narrowed that down to AK or QQ when he slowed down at the turn, should I have been thinking about what he ended up having, or is there really no way to put him on this. Also, was calling the river bet a bad idea? To tell you the truth I didnt even think twice about it and maybe i should have.

PokerStars 0.25/0.50 Hold'em (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A, A.
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 raises, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 calls, CO folds, Button folds, SB folds, Hero 3-bets, UTG+2 caps, MP3 calls, Hero calls.

Flop: (12.40 SB) 3, 7, K (3 players)
Hero bets, UTG+2 raises, MP3 folds, Hero 3-bets, UTG+2 calls.

Turn: (9.20 BB) 8 (2 players)
Hero bets, UTG+2 calls.

River: (11.20 BB) 8 (2 players)
Hero bets, UTG+2 raises, Hero 3-bets, UTG+2 calls.

Final Pot: 17.20 BB

Well played.

At these stakes it's hard to put him on a hand. AK/KK look like the most likely canidates up until the river. I would have just called the raise, but it's one of those close calls where you need to go with your gut.

given the raise, i would put him on a pocket pair like JJ, QQ or he hit the K with a crappy kicker, maybe even KK for the trip, but he would be more aggressive on the turn if he had KK.

he might of had an 8 too, which is why he just called the turn, and raised on the river.

Bad assumption. Passive players like to skip rounds with their best hands to suck you in, like it's NL, the 100/200 game or something. KK would not surprise me. Although, it's more likely AK. The problem is that KK caps the river and AK just calls.

that's true. if he had trip Ks he would slowplay. actually that 8 might have helped him too...since he has a pair of 8's he now has a good enough hand to call...and another 8 on the river justifies his reraising
