Criticisms please.

No great read on Villain other than he may well think I'm a lunatic. mr_casino certainly thinks I'm crazy but that turns out to be irrelevant. I haven't been able to confirm yet whether villain has ever floated or bluffed me - he has played back a couple of times but hasn't had to show down. He did call me down with bottom pair a couple of times.


Edit: I think my action on the turn is questionable.

raise more pre-flop,
check-raise all in is very bad.
the check raise is horrible.
he is not bluffing on that bored leaving him self with only 34 .
if he had a PP he would have check behind after your check or would have moved all in but i dont see this bet ever being bluff .

How much? I was hoping but quite surprised to get two callers. My previous reraises got respect.

Check fold to a normal bet?

Bet more on the flop.

When he flat calls on the flop you have to suspect a draw. You need to either bet out or check fold to a bet on the turn. Check raising is the worst play here.

Yes , what do you think at this stage that the Villian would have played this way that you beat besides a bluff ??

If you had the king of spades maybe check-raising all in isnt nearly as bad. I think check-folding the turn is best. The crai is horrific on the turn.

cardshark202

In fact sometimes checking the flop is not too bad.

dont like checking the flop here with full of draws,but when you bet and get called and then he bets the flop after the most obviouse draw has come in,you can be fairly certain he has it.specially when they commit them selfs like this.

brianmc

Fair enough.

I was playing very aggressively and this guy was the only one who had played back at me at any point. I think I was too eager to catch him out.

Check-folding the turn in this hand isn't too bad. I nearly always bet that flop as it's so draw heavy and I raise more preflop.
