I just deleted my first reply, hope nobody read that.. I'd play the same, except check the river. There's straights out there, there's a flush out there, not to mention any pair..

Edit: Screw the free river card, take a free showdown instead. If you chec the turn thru, he'll bet at you with anything, and you'll have to fold. I reserve the free river card for anything that's pure crap without a good river, something that I'll fold UI no matter what.

I'm not sure that I'm following the action correctly, but it looks like you had AJo on the button.

Preflop: Standard.

Flop: Why are you raising? All you have is an overcard and a gutshot. You have no folding equity. I'm too lazy to calculate the odds, but I think I just call here.

Turn: The only reason for raising the flop is to get a free card, but now you switch horses midstream and don't take it. I would have checked behind, or folded if it were bet to me.

River: Again, quite reckless. Your opponent made a bluff-call, but over the long run this bet is highly -EV.

Basically I didn't like any street except for preflop.

I really don't like how you played this at all.

PF is fine.

But your Flop raise is silly.

I can't figure out why you think your hand is good on the turn - you provided no reads.

Suited Broadway Flop. I really don't understand why you think your even close to good.

Quite frankly I think you got bailed out by a bigger donk.
