I'd bet flop between 225-250, probably check behind turn and call river. As played, I check behind river and stay alive. Let's wait for evaluation though.


you are betting under half pot on both flop and turn which is a mistake.

you always want to bet at least 1/2 pot as a minimum! otherwise you give your opponent the correct odds to call and you arent 'charging' him extra if he wants to draw. you want to protect and also get max value from your strong hand.

also pre flop i make it 3x +1bb per limper at lvl30 = 120

apart from the bet sizing you played it good.

its pretty standard to go broke here with TPTK, there are still enough worse hands that will call you down on this limit.

Hi all,

I like your thinking of going for 2 streets with our hand Aqua. But here it's better to bet the turn to get value from draws. I then check behind the river.
