Player in this hand is a taggish player. I don't remember the stats though. Is this fine the way it is played considering the board? I'd like to get more value out of this but how.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

SB ($193.75)
BB ($215.35)
UTG ($196)
UTG+1 ($75)
MP1 ($479.10)
MP2 ($223)
Hero ($234.20)
CO ($186.90)
Button ($282.55)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with A

, Q

. SB posts a blind of $1.
1 fold, UTG+1 calls $2, 2 folds, Hero raises to $8, 2 folds, SB (poster) calls $7, 1 fold, UTG+1 calls $6.

Flop: ($26) Q

, 5

, A

(3 players)
SB checks, UTG+1 checks, Hero bets $20, SB raises to $40, UTG+1 folds, Hero calls $206.20 (All-In), SB folds.

Final Pot: $292.20

Actually before I posted this I didn't even realize he check/raised...I thought he had position on me

I dont like this line, i know theres only one real hand that beats you hear but the bet you made is likely to only get called by that hand.

Every bet you make you want to think of what you want to acheive with your bet.

- Show false strength to push a hand off
- show false weakness, push off draws/give bad odds
- make a lessor hand call
- show strength when your strong and want to find out where your at etc.

Here you want a lessor hand (ax or a draw) to pay you off.

Sometimes you have to make huge laydowns or at least slow right down but to do that you have to first find out where you are in the hand. i think 2pair should be played quick and fast to find out where your at, then get out or slow down if you face aggression.

Experimenting - 200NL 5max.

I don't like this line. When you 3-bet all in, you let villian play perfect poker, meaning that he folds all hands that you are ahead of, and calls with all hands that have you beat, namely 55. I'm assuming that A5 and Q5 are probably not in his range. I like just calling the minraise, and playing some poker. Do you think a flush draw is in villian's range here? You do have the backdoor draw to the nut flush, so a club on the turn wouldn't kill your hand. You would have a redraw to a club, A, or Q.
