Should I fold my three Aces with a dangerous flush at the river?

Grabbed by Holdem Manager
NL Holdem $30(BB) Replayer
SB ($1,470)
Hero ($1,500)
UTG ($2,220)
UTG+1 ($1,500)
UTG+2 ($1,500)
MP1 ($1,500)
MP2 ($1,500)
CO ($1,500)
BTN ($810)

Dealt to Hero A♠ K♠

fold, UTG+1 calls $30, UTG+2 calls $30, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero checks

FLOP ($105) 7♥ A♦ 5♥

Hero checks, UTG+1 bets $90, UTG+2 folds, Hero calls $90

TURN ($285) 7♥ A♦ 5♥ A♣

Hero checks, UTG+1 checks

RIVER ($285) 7♥ A♦ 5♥ A♣ Q♥

Hero checks, UTG+1 bets $300, Hero raises to $900, UTG+1 raises to $1,380 (AI), Hero calls $480 (AI)

Thx :heart:

More aggression preflop would be nice. As played either bet river or check-call. His line is more like flush draw or turned full house than weaker Ax imo. I would think that Ax (beside Ax with heart draw) would usually bet on turn again to protect hand.

as played bet out 90-100 on the flop... or check/raise... check/call is the worst you can do...

turn... we've played the hand so strangely I'm not sure what to do...

River bet/call or check/call seems fine... but as stated previously we've played the hand kinda badly so we have no idea where we are at... check/raising is a bad line here..

You basically missplayed every street.

AK is pretty much always a raise preflop when it's folded or limped to you. By checking you miss a lot of value. On the flop you should bet, especially after you checked preflop to build the pot in case someone has an ace and to get value out of draws and pairs. On the turn you should bet for the same reasons. Same goes for the river, why should they decide to bluff the river when they had two streets to do it in way better spots? They prolly just got 5x or K-high and want to check it down. A Queen might bet, but will not call a check raise. However, Qx would also call a bet on the river, so c/r is pretty bad.

I really don't know what you're reasons are for you playing this hand the way you did, but it seems like you missed the concept of value betting completely. Definitely check out some strategy articles.
