2:00 - You lead with bottom pair & get called. On the turn the 3 flush completes & you bet with your one card flush draw saying "because I hit a draw on the turn". Is the fact you hit a draw reason enough to bet. Which better hands will fold on that turn & which worse hands will call?
With the flopped boat on the AA2 you raise her donk as you think she might be getting fed up with you. As she has folded to pretty much every raise so far is it not better to let her keep bluffing or value betting if she does happen to have an Ace? Also, do you think you can play 22 more profitably by limping than by raising PF?
You kept saying "3 bet" when you actually meant "3x raise" btw.

2:00 At this stage I don't know much about the opp and fire a 2nd barrel with increased outs. Unsure if he is floating me wide and I can get a fold from air or bottom/mid pair. It's not a huge pot and at that stage of the match a lot of the bets are information gathering, ie what does he do when I fire the 2nd barrel.
The AA2 hand I raise as I said because I felt at some stage he must get sick of the raising. The standard line of course is to flat call and as the raise didn't work obviously the standard line would have been better. Sometimes you level your opponent and sometimes u level yourself.
As for whether i can play it more profitably limping or raising... that's difficult to answer, obviously most of the time you would be happy to raise pre and get a fold. I mean you could also ask "Would it be more profitable to limp AA or rase it late in the game?" I often limp it at high blinds and that works very well....
As for the 3 bet vs 3x my apologies! Simple maths confuses me in my old age :(

Thanks for the quick reply.
I understand your comments regarding the hand at 2:00.
I think the point for me with the 22 hand is what is our plan post flop if we don't hit a set as there will basically be no flops we like. The situation with AA is of course significantly different as we create a lot of deception by limping.
I watched a PimordialAA video today where he also limped 22 PF & then checked it down to the river & folded to a river bet IIRC so I'm not really sure how this will ever be better than making a small raise.
cog dissonance says:
Well I tend to play passively preflop and aggressively postflop, so if I limp the 22 then I'm most likely going to be stabbing or possibly raising my opp's stab. The fact that I'd limped and the flop came down AA2 probably made me think the raise of my opp's stab didn't have much credibility, so this might be the spot where he/she would finally think I didn't have it and might make a play.
