the big blind is aggressive with pocket pairs and Axs and also Ace with any face and here is how the hand went....

its a home game and the people i play with will see the flop with almost anything and there are 3 limpers to me..im on the small blind with pocket kings and raise to protect my hand and i am reraised by the big blind. all limpers fold and i cap it. big blind calls..

flop comes Ah Ad 6h. i raise to see where i am at and i get reraised and call

turn is a 7s so the board is Ah Ad 6h 7s and i plan to checkraise but the big blind checks also

river is 2s and i raise and just get called.

the big blind had pocket queens and i took down a good pot..should i have bet the turn and should i have also put him on the Ace since hes the type to reraise with a strong Ace? thanks

4Poker's answer was a good one.

"Ah Ad 6h 7s" why were you thinking about check-raising on the turn? Because he will be aggressive when it's cheap but might throw away when it's expensive? What did you have in mind?

If you put him on an Ace, why are you in at all? Since you obviously gave him more hands to hold, would he play a four-flush in this manner? If so, I'd bet on the turn when it didn't come (in case he's drawing and was trying for a free card) and then decide what the odds were of an Ace if he raised again.

On the river, if the third heart comes, what would you have done?
