I was sure he had pocket queens on the turn, so i checked .. is this the right play in the long run online, ive read that u must play percentages online as tells and reads are normally inaccurate. Should i have layed it down on the river after checkin the turn ? curiosity got the better of me i think. Or should i just simply of bet the turn, tried to get my money in on the river and gone to the next SitnGo when he turns over his pocket queens, what do u think ?

Re: Percentages or Instinct ? :welcome to PL Which site is this on? It's a horrible format hand history and difficult to get your head around. There's also vital information missing - like stack sizes. In general you should be raising your Aces pre flop. You can "mix it up" occasionally by playing other ways, but, especially if you are new to poker "your natural ineptitude will provide enough variance in your game to confuse your opponents" (not a criticism directed at you - it applies to me too ;) ) So you should definitely have reraised pre flop! How were you sure he had pocket queens on the turn? Sounds like a very difficult read to make. (especially if it's a micro stakes game, which from his min raise pre flop I'm guessing it is)
