From his stats so far in this tournament, my opponent is loose aggressive. Comments on all streets wanted, but especially the river. I'm obviously betting, but the Dial-a-Call hotline was down. How big is the perfect-sized bet? I'm hoping for specific numbers.

Party Poker $30+3 No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (7 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

Button (t990)
SB (t955)
Hero (t725)
UTG (t650)
MP1 (t1725)
MP2 (t945)
CO (t2010)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 3/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
<font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (t100) T/images/graemlins/spade.gif, A/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero checks.

Turn: (t100) T/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets t125</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t250</font>, SB calls t125.

River: (t600) 2/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets ???</font>

I might push the turn, but I think your move might be alright too.

Push the river.

Im never a big fan of the tap raise like you did on the turn. I think either calling or making it like 325 would give you better leverage on the river.

As for the river, you obviously have to bet. I think there are only two logical hands that will call you here. A ten, which would probably call any modest bet. And King high which would probably only call very small bets. In this situation I would tend to hope he has a ten and make a modest bet that he would call. Given your previous action on the turn and the stack sizes I think I would either bet 225 or 275.

lol...

Looks great on all streets. I'd say a t125-150 bet would be ideal. Maybe Mr. LAGgy made his nut flush and will re-raise you... /images/graemlins/grin.gif

If you are more than min-raising on the turn, ya gotta push.

Look at his stack, a push on the river is mandatory, I think.
