Raise double that pre-flop to actually induce a fold. Raise more like t150 on the flop. Check/fold the turn (he is as scared of the straight as you are if he didnt make it).

But what do I know, im just a 22 player... /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Raise a little more preflop, but not overkill, bet 2/3rds of the pot on flop and check raise turn. I'd fold too on river the way you played it.

if you are going to use hand strength as a basis of bet sizes... the exploitability factor will grind you down in a hurry.

What would you do on the turn? check push? I considered it, but decided against it.

I just complete that PF.
Raising makes BB think you're full of ish so you're going to get played back at OOP with a crummy hand in a pot that you built.
I'd much rather just complete, if the ace hits you can bet it, he'll think you're full of it and pop you back, you cna raise, etc etc.

Risk/reward ratio is way more attractive if you just complete here.

It looks reasonable to me. I agree that you should fold the river. If your opponent is bluffing they deserve to win IMO.

I would play preflop the same, I'd basically play the flop the same.

Well, here are the results along with my thought process:

He showed, and he had K10.

on the flop i was hoping he had a weak ace and would raise me so i could push, otherwise i figured he's folding. so i'm not sure what he has when he calls.

Then the turn makes 4 cards to a straight, but, i check call because if i raise, a straight is calling, and almost any other hand is gonna fold. Also, if he's bluffing here, i'd like him to continue bluffing the river. My plan is to check call a push on the river, otherwise check it down. There is also a relatively small chance that i make a boat on the river and bust his straight (if that is what he has)

Then the river paired the board which I figured he's gonna just check it down, but, he comes out firing, which, as most of you said, laying down the river was fairly easy.
