$4 NL HE Full Ring: AA preflop, full on the flop, hero ?

Stack Sizes :

Hero : 4,92
UTG+2 : 2,84
MP1 : 2,91
MP3 : 3,82

Preflop: Hero is CO with A, A
2 folds, UTG2 calls $0,04, MP1 calls $0,04, MP2 calls $0,04, MP3 calls $0,04, Hero raises to $0,16, 3 folds, UTG2 calls $0,12, MP1 calls $0,12, MP2 folds, MP3 calls $0,12.

Flop: ($0,74) Q, Q, A (4 players)
UTG2 checks, MP1 checks, MP3 checks, Hero bets $0,31, 3 folds.

Final Pot: $1,05

Yeah I almost flopped nuts but as you see... no one called the small bet. Did I do something wrong ? like should've I checked and hope for the turn and river to help one of them ?

I also wished to know, can we create more than one thread at a time or do we have to wait for the hand to be reviewed ?

TIA,

ARU

Eh, I hate checking last to act after being the preflop raiser but this would be the time to do it. I would usually make a similar sized bet here and hope someone wanted to chase a flush or even gutshot if no queens, case ace, stubborn pairs were out.

Checking last to act, then coming alive later looks so suspicious, but probably doesn't matter at this level. About the only hands that could improve enough with a free card but wouldn't call a cbet are small pairs or the gutshots. I guess it depends on if villains fold easily or chase any dream as to whether I bet this flop.

You can start up to two threads a day as a new member. If you have another hand for analysis, go ahead and post it.

I check this all day. Let them think you are scared. The only way you get paid is for them to hit.

Do you have any reads on the villians?

I probably raise a little bigger preflop to like .25 but that is certainly debatable. Betting the flop is fine against so many people but checking it back last to act is actually better. The advantage to checking it back is in a situation like this were there have nothing and might bluff at the turn card. You have the deck crushed the only hand that might call you here is QJ if they are loose, so let the turn card come and pray they catch up a bit. I am not a slowplayer I 99% advocate betting but this a spot where checking is better. Even 5nl players can find a fold on this flop with KK's.

Just my opinion:

I think I would have raised more preflop to cut down on the number of opponents. We all know AA works better against 1 or 2 people. Since we flopped the nuts we have to check/call down to the river. The only hands calling us here have a queen, but two of them are gone, or and A, and three of those are gone.

Actually, we are praying for someone to hit their flush by the river so we can stack them.
