Play hand

$0.05/$0.1 No-Limit Hold'em (6 handed)

Known players:
[tg]BU$10.40:///////;SB$13.75:///////;BB$10.15:///////;MP2$10.60:///////;MP3$11.30:///////;CO (Hero)$10.55:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is CO with A:d, Q:h.
2 folds, Hero raises to $0.30, BU folds, SB calls $0.25, BB folds.

Flop: ($0.7) Q:s, Q:c, 8:d (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.40, SB raises to $1.20, Hero calls $0.80.

Turn: ($3.1) T:d (2 players)
SB bets $2.40, Hero calls $2.40.

River: ($7.9) 3:s (2 players)
SB bets $6.20, Hero raises to $6.65, SB calls $0.45.

Final Pot: $21.2.

Results follow:

SB shows a full-house, eights full of queens(8s 8h).
Hero shows three of a kind, queens(Ad Qh).

SB wins with a full-house, eights full of queens(8s 8h).

i figured that i was going all in against this guy with vpip 34. and given he was rather aggressive, instead of re-raising and isolating myself against better hands, i decided to call right to the river, where i was all-in. i expected him to have holdings like overpairs or a worse Q, and an unlikely full house.

Hey!

I like most it =) Against an aggressive player, you're better off just calling him down.
He can't have much on this board and there should be a decent portion of bluffs in his range.
HOWEVER, I'd rather shove on the turn myself, because the board has gotten a lot more wet and there are many more hands that could have some equity against you. (I assume he only continues firing with some equity. If he's a totla crayz maniac, then calling down to the river is the best play, becasue he's gonna have a bunch of complete air)

Cheers!
