My turn raise sucked here. it should ahve been far far more.

I considered checking behind him on the river. My read on the turn was that he held either AK or two diamonds., however i felt checking was too weak, as there were too many hands that could still call a bet.

ANyone else think i should have checked this? anyone think i should have called?

I just wrote a whole long post and erased it because I wasn't following it right. waste of time lol.

Anyway, I sincerely doubt you have the BB beat here. It looks like he had a monster draw on the turn...then trickly checked it to you when it hit. He moved all-in to look weaker then a standard raise. Good fold.

He might even had held something like QQ or JJ but i'm still learning towards [Jd], [Kd] or [Qd].


As for your bet on the river...I think I like it. Lots of hands would call you there.

I agree with kennyg, i think that is a fine river valuebet but i definately think he had u beat here, good fold.

You right, your turn raise shouldve been higher. I also would not have bet the river.

QQ, JJ, TT, AK and any flush all beat you. The only thing you can beat is AA and KK and he wouldnt have checked the flop with those hands.

He could also beat QJ. ha!

I agree with the river fold, but couldn't disagree more with the flop check.
