Hi All, I had this hand come up on the weekend and didn't think I played it up to it's full potential. Maybe I gave out the wrong message?? Fairly new to the table so no real read.
25NL 0.10/0.25 (10 players)...
Hero ($22)
Villain ($55)
UTG+1 Hero dealt   Villain in CO
UTG Folds, Hero Calls, 2 other Calls, 2 folds, Villain Calls, SB completes and BB checks
Flop   
Hero bets 0.75, 2 folds, Villain min. Raise to 1.50, 2 folds, Hero Calls 0.75... was really comtemplating a reraise to see if he really had the Ace or just on a draw of somekind. But my read on that min. raise is Ax suited; where x<J
Turn 
Hero Checks, Villain Bets 1.00, Hero Reraise to 4.00, as the clock is about to run out Villain Calls. Wasn't sure if this is the spot to rerasise or to just smooth call the bet. But by him calling the raise, I have to put him at least on A Q or J possibly Ax of d
River 
Pot is $12.50
Hero??
What's your move to extract the most $$. Maybe my turn raise might given the strenght of my hand away?? How would the Guru's play this hand, all comments appreciated. Thanks!

Yep. Thats what I would do here too. Hope he reads that as weakness and comes over the top with a reraise.

Wow you guys are sharp as nails and would have read me like a book :D ...I ended up betting $8 and villain folded  ...I was having second thoughts of maybe betting $5 or so to make really look like a bluff. Maybe I should have done the Hollywood thing and taken my entire clocked time and then bet. Who knows, I really hoping he would come over the top  Oh well....Thanks I feel better about the way I played it now!

Thanks for the complements, I was hoping for a few more callers or a bigger raise from the villain which then I could call/reraise. With someone deepstacked, I was assuming that he would only play if the pot was large enough for him steal. But since he only min. raise I had to give him a line and look him on the turn and the river. I thought I had hooked him with a larger reraise and a call, but somehow he managed to get away ...there's always other ones to catch I guess. Thanks for all the input!
