I put villian on the flush draw, figured he woulda checked flop if he flopped it. I do raise AJ preflop once in awhile.

On the turn I thought he probably had a J with a weaker kicker.

Why would you slowplay this hand on this board?

[elnino12]

Need more info about villain...but without any, I put him on KJ with K /images/graemlins/club.gif, a straight (10/9), or a small flush...one of which you beat.

what is your reasoning for raising the turn?

I guess I was wanting to see if anyone hit the flush, when villain raised and everyone else folded I put villain on a flush draw, I didn't want to reraise because I wanted to see the turn cheaply. Once I saw the turn I wanted to shut his flush draw down.

Also didn't have much of a read on villain.

Also see I should have reraised more on turn to shut the flush draw out, correct?

[Kaz The Original]

He's drawing. Not you.

[DBowling]

flopped straight?

edit: he raises if he had a set and turned a boat.

[Jay36489]

My guess is straight. Hes not playing too aggresive since there's a flush on the board. Although his large river call may not make sense if he is on the str8.

[suspicious_mind]

He could have anything on the flop.
Straight, flush, full house, flush draw, 2 pairs, 1 pair, bluff etc. I don't think you can rule out a flush just because he bets the flop.

Why didn't you bet the turn if you thought he was drawing? did you think he would try and represent the J?
I think giving away a free card here could kill you, he might just check behind with 9T, flush draw etc so unless you had a read he would try and represent the J I think you should bet the turn.

I don't think making a bigger check-raise on the turn is a good idea beacuse if a 9, T or club hits on the river you might be bluffed out of the hand. I would prefer too keep the pot a bit smaller especially since you might not have the best hand.

What would you have done if you were raised on the river?

Overall I think you played it pretty good, I might have played it differently but I think the way you played is fine especially since this is shorthanded and they are usually pretty loose-agressive

I think not raising AJ four handed is pretty bad.

Yeah I think I still play tighter than I should.

That's not tight, it's passive. I feel like a dictionary around here.

[krazyace5]

Theres a leak, I think I am tight but I am really passive, lol.

[TheWorstPlayer]

Getting the label wrong is obviously not such a big deal. Understanding the concepts is a bigger deal. And being passive playing short handed is a huge deal.
