Hello, I would like some opinions whether I played the hand correctly and how I could have played it better.

0,25/0,5 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (6 handed)
Hand recorder used for this poker hand: PokerStrategy Elephant 0.58 by www.pokerstrategy.com.

Preflop: Hero is BB with A♣, Q♣
3 folds, BU raises, SB calls, Hero 3-bets, BU calls, SB calls.

Obviously, I 3bet here the button steal

Flop: (9,00 SB) 5♥, T♥, 2♠ (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, BU calls, SB folds.

Again, I put a continuation bet, surprisingly, button calls.

Turn: (5,50 BB) T♣ (2 players)
Hero bets, BU raises, Hero calls.

Now I get reraised on the turn. What could he have: he could easily be floating me; he could have trips (doubtful), any other pair. If he doesn't have trips, my call seems to be ok with these pot odds. Now should I reraise again, call or fold?

River: (9,50 BB) A♠ (2 players)
Hero checks, BU bets, Hero raises, BU folds, Hero gets uncalled bet back..

I hit ace on the river, i opt to check-raise hoping he would bet. Should I bet, check-call or check-raise him here? What if I don't hit queen or ace on the river? Do I check-call or check-fold?

Final Pot: 11,50 BB

Results follow (highlight to see):
Hero shows two pairs, aces and tens (Ac Qc)

Hero wins with two pairs, aces and tens (Ac Qc)

Tough hand and I should probably leave judging this one to the better players but I do have a comment or two. If he calls the flop, the T :club: is not a scarecard to him so he will call any bet here as he will still be getting odds to a flush draw as well. I think I like a check/call on the turn here and check/call on the river unimproved or bet/call the river if you hit a pair.


Hi aurs and welcome to our FL section.

First I thought about check/calling turn and river as well but I might be influenced by the raise.
Betting is fine as he can calldown with a worse A-high. The paired T might make him calldown even more.
If you don't improve I like check/folding after his raise as it's not very often a bluff. I see him either on A-high or a pair which he either checks behind or bets for value.

Improved makes this a donkbet for me. The A is scary if he has a pocketpair so he might check behind but will call a bet.
Check/raising is possible with the Q but this depends on the opponent. He has to be aggressive to not check behind to often.
