I bet a little less than pot on flop to induce a call and potted it on turn to get value

[bluefeet]

you are certainly giving him incorrect odds to call the river (which is optimal). but i'd be content with taking down this decent pot on the turn (push). especially at a lower level, where a donk will feel compelled to see his flush draw through (absent a push from you on the turn) -- no reason to deal with a nasty turn card, that he pushes over the top on.

[skierdude1000]

So you would've open pushed the turn? or bet more on the flop? or both?

[lastchance]

I think you played it well, except for the river. The blocking bet is bad, because I don't think you can fold your straight here. I want a bit more value here. I bet more there. Small bet just seems so fishy...

What do you mean blocking bet? I was scared of the flush... you rahter have me bet a lot and look at a nice big raise when he hits his flush?

[bluefeet]

i think the point is, this is your defining moment. your t240 on the river puts 1/2 your chips in a monster pot. you're not folding this hand. while the smaller bet is almost inviting a raise (which you'll be calling) - it is probably more optimal to bet t400-500ish if this guy has hung on this long with 2-pair or the like.

[jeffraider]

You played it good, I think. This line will have you win more money but lose more often but that's fine because you're a solid favourite throughout the hand and you can't ask for much more.

PS these hand histories are terrible! Worst format ever!

Sorry /images/graemlins/frown.gif This is from Golden Palace, surprisingly most people on 2+2 have never heard of it, so theres no hand converter support... thanks for the reply though
