I am going to post some key hand histories that I have marked over the last 15,000 hands at 10 NL 6-max. I would like to get peoples opinions on the way the hand played out and if they think my line was good, ok or bad. I will also include my thought process as they play out…any input would be appreciated. I am also going to post this entry on 2+2 micro stakes forum to get more feedback.

Thoughts : 4x raise here in CO is pretty standard for me with an AQo. I would make this raise with any hand down to about KQo and any pair in an unopened pot.
Question(s): On the flop, should I be re-raising the bet here in most situations ( without knowing opp. cbet % ) to find out where I am? Is calling here simply a bad leak? ( I have possible flush and straight redraws on turn… )

Thoughts: Pre-flop I think I can correctly make this call here getting over 2 to 1 on my money. With 2 players yet to call the re-raise, it is also safe to assume one of them will call , which ialso increases the value of calling.
With 4 players to the flop, the action is checked around and did not feel comfortable making the pot any bigger with this many players in the hand and having a pair under the Q. Someone can easily be trying to trap with hands like AA,KK and AQ.
Question(s): Given the texture of the flop and post-flop action, I do not put any of my opponents on a drawing hand or the Q. My table image at the time was very tight and since it appeared noone wanted this pot, I felt compelled to bet. Does the saying ‘ Weak means strong ‘ apply here? Or am I setting myself up too often for a trap or bluff attempt?
After the turn Q pairs the board and action is checked to me, am I completely out of line in putting in such a small bet?
