AQT2 double suited

Raise preflop, you have a strong hand. I really don't like how you keep posting hands where you limp. When the first 3 players fold treat the hand like a 6max hand, and raise to 75 cents yourself.

On the flop I am happy to checkraise this flop. Top pair, strong kicker and a nut flush draw. It's so unlikely that you're going to be up against AA here, but even if you are you still have a reasonable 35% equity.

I think villain has a pretty polarized range on the river and you might have to call his river bet. The guy bets less than full pot on the flop on a draw heavy board then makes a weak turn bet of half pot (which I would never do with either a straight or a set when it's obvious you have neither due to check/call and check on the turn).

I think his river line looks pretty damn bluff heavy and I would be hitting the call button expecting him to either show up with A6 or a busted draw like lower diamonds with KK or 79Tx.

First would like to thank you about the analisis and not only of this hand but all of them.

About my preflop raises or better said not raising pre but limping I have to say I do it on purpouse it's not that I don't see your advises but it's in contradiction to what I read and my sources of books.
I still respect your opinion and advises ( as they are very good indeed and you've made me think about things I have not considered ) but there is one thing I can not agree on with you:
raising with some of the hands that you suggest me to raise and not limp.
I don't like raising with dry pairs KK QQ and so on. And this is what I am advised not to do in my books.
Talking about this hand yes you are right I should've raised this hand it's a decent hand I just wanted to try something different and I was experimenting with my game. My game is still not good and I am expirementing and trying to adjust it and trying different stuff and see what works and what don't.

What books? If I remember it correctly, Donkr' book recommend to open limp from early position (as another option), but not from late position with intention to get multiway pot postflop (thus we can win flush vs flush). Can you tell me what the idea to open limp from CO?
