Bombjack
Legend
Silver Level
Think I need a bit of help with my AQ play...
First example, it turns out Villain has AQ as well, because I asked him after the hand what he had.
Villain, according to PokerTracker, is loose-passive/passive, although I'd only seen him for 60 hands at this point. He was maybe a better player than this suggests though, because he did seem to win massively and often (over 100 BB/hr in the 100 hands I saw).

Maybe shouldn't have raised with AQ in early position.
Also think I should have bet bigger on the flop, my (flawed) reasoning at the time being I'd try to get a bit of action by betting small.
Laid it down because, well it's only TPTK and he was betting like he'd hit trips.
Anything else I should have done differently?
Second example.... well I'm almost ashamed to post this one. But given the choice of a session of self-flagellation or posting it on cardschat, I've chosen the latter. Perhaps view it as a cautionary tale.
In my defence, a) it had been a long session and my brain wasn't working properly, and b) was thinking about the hand above.

On second thoughts, would Doyle Brunson have approved? It's a tough call for KK as the only credible hand it can beat is AQ.
