AJ line check vs fish

Villain is 44/9 over 300 hands reg fish. Checked him up on PTR and he actually has 1.65BB/100 winrate over 250k NL2 hands.

No other significant reads, but since he has 200bb stack I suppose he is capable of winning some pots with good hands.

Anyway, I made a fat raise on flop to hunt for flush draws and weaker Ax. Turn completes a flush draw and I really hate my hand now, but I fire again since I assumed he probably might just call with most of his weaker aces and probably raise with flush making a easy fold for me. And river sucks, I can beat A8 and A7 now. Probably should've folded.

Comments? Was my flop raise a spew? Is giving up on turn obvious since i played flop this way? Any reasons to call river after all this mess?

Hi, I think completing the blind was a massive mistake, It puts you OOP, gives BB a free card, his range is now ATC, which include 33,39,3A,A9 , Hands with 2 spades.

Now, forgetting the BB, all them limpers , with their pocket pairs and suited connectors....
Either raise it up pre, denying the above mentioned field descent odds and hopefully take the pot down or Hero folds pre.

The end

PF either raise to around 7xbb or fold.
The rest of the hand is just throwing your cash in the trash.

Anyone who called the c/r won't fold to the turn bet. I seriously doubt that someone will float a flop c/r. Those that were stupid enough to call the flop c/r with a FD complete on the turn. Anyone else who calls that c/r has 2 pr or a set. Villain's bet otr looks like a value bet with a strong, but not nut hand.

Def a way to play.

3bet pre (big like 6x-7x), b/f all three streets

Does that make more sense, bikes? Or am I still blonde

lead flop

raise pre, cbet flop, bet/fold turn. as played i don't think flop or turn are terrible. we get value from worse Ax and flush draws on the flop, and bet/folding the turn is good because he will call with a heap of worse A's and spades. but i definitely would have gone about this hand differently.

As others have said raising pre is more +EV than limping (still + EV).

Lead flop, trying to check/raise in limped pots is generally not a good idea.

Can't believe people don t want to limp here with AJ :S

oh shit i didn't realise hero check/raised this flop. yeah way prefer leading as preflop was played.

Who the fuck folds AJ here on the sb when it's limped around? Call is fine imo, then b/f flop, b/f turn, b/f river. I wish I didn't agree with bikes so much.
