Final Pot: $26.75
I used to be a SNG player, but I started playing the NL25 6-max games while clearing the Party bonus, and I've found them much more profitable, so I'll most likely stay with them. That being said, I know I played this hard very poorly.
Most of the time I bet out with a decent hand, but for some reason, I decided to trap with this flopped monster, so I paused a lot before checking, hoping to look scared. The turn brought the third flush card, at which point I was actually getting a bit scared. What do I do on the turn? I'm most likely still ahead, so check-raise? Bet out?
I know I mangled the river, should I push after his weak bet? I was still afraid of the flush, and figured that a weaker hand would fold to a check-raise push, and only a boat or flush would call.
