Bone dry flop w AA OOP 1-3
Live 1-3
Hero raise HJ to $12 w AA no clubs
CO player calls and I have observed that he seems to be relatively passive and on the tighter side of the spectrum. It doesn't seem that he is limping a ton and giving away money, but he also doesn't seem to be raising at all either the first 2 hours we played.
Flop Jh2c2s
Pot = $24
Hero checks
He checks
Turn 7c
Hero bets $15
CO calls $15
Riv Qs
Pot = $50
After thinking more about this hand, I think the best play is to C/C against missed FD and also to allow a hand like AQ, KQcc, QTcc, to bet. I was thinking of whether or not we should go for a check raise, and I think it kinda depends on his river sizing. If he pots it, we prob just have to call because I think he can actually have JJ in his range for flatting preflop at this stake, plus some A2s, MAYBE A2o, K2s, so we could run into issues if we try to go too thin IMO. But say he bets 1-3 or half, then maybe we can C/R 2.5x or something like that to get a crying call.
In the actual hand, I believe I made a mistake and actually bet $75 on the river. I didn't really think it through very well and just wanted to max value from AQ or Qx or some QJ he may randomly show up with, but I think a big issue with this is his range is actually pretty uncapped here on this dry texture, and by taking this line we miss a ton of value from SD's and FD's that may have floated turn to bluff river.
The flop seems a bit interesting to me as well, and I think against a passive player we should probably just go ahead and bet it ourselves and try to get mult streets from a Jx type of hand, starting with a half pot or less size flop bet and continue on later streets until proven otherwise. Overall not happy with how I played the hand, but think I took away some things from it.
