there's nothing spectacular about this hand, but i'd like some input. also it reminds me i need to work on reading other people's hands.was in vegas a couple weeks ago, and got a chance to play some poker. fyi, this is about the 3rd time i've sat in a 1-2 nl live game.first time at the horseshoe. i've been in a for a couple orbits. sat with $100, doubled up with jj over 99 on an under flop.full tablehero is sb with ~$220villain is utg+1 with roughly equal stackvillain is old guy, not involved in my first hand. seems to be playing tight. i've been pretty conservative. i made one silly mistake when i put in a raise to $20 after the bettor led for $12, and i thought it was two x $1 + one x $5 for $7.hero is dealt A :club: Axutg calls, villain raises to $12, folds to hero, hero raises to $35, utg folds, villain callsflop 732, two :D shero bets $70, villain callsturn 8 :club:hero is all-in for ~$110, villain callswhen villain raised preflop, i put him on 10's+, ak. i think i'd seen him limp with a lower pair before, so i decided he wouldn't be raising here with less than 10's. after he calls preflop, i lean towards him having a big pair. this is probably all incorrect as i usually give people too much credit for a big hand.after he calls on the flop, i decided he's got a big hand, probably qq or kk, maybe jacks. i wasn't giving him much credit for clubs in his hand, since i had already decided he had a pair. i considered a set, but i couldn't picture him raising with 77, and especially not 33/22.i realize we're not deep stacked and not getting away from the hand, but i really don't like my bet on the turn. i bet out expecting him to fold, which i realized later was dumb. i don't put him on many hands that are ahead of me, so why am i trying to force him out here? i should be giving him the opportunity to put his money in bad. if he happens to have a flush or set, he's definitely calling. if he's got an overpair to the board, i want him calling/betting out and not considering a fold. at this point i can't imagine ever folding with top pair + nut flush draw.also i think i should have raised more preflop.all comments welcome, proceed to let me know i should stick to stud.

The problem with the river is you are not going to get called unless you are beat. Now I think you need to check the turn, and go from there. If you think the villian will pay you off with a pair of 7's then I don't have a problem.I never understand why people wait for the draw gets there and then pushes allin. I see it a lot at 50NL and 100NL.

I'd probably bet $80-90 on the flop.If it makes no diff I probably check the turn and make a judgement decision. But by putting a little more money on the flop then it's easier to call an all-in on the turn. This is a tough one to get away from with best overpair and Ace flushdraw. I'm willing to go broke here most of the time with only $200 and change to start with.
