Looks good to me.

In a way, every street but the flop might be played differently, but I don't think any of them are wrong. Maybe raise the turn, but I can handle calling. Sometimes he's got a bigger boat on the river, but I think you have to cap anyway because more often than not he doesn't.

Yeah, I thought every decision was pretty close, especially the turn as you mentioned. I enjoy raising donk-bets. I don't know what stopped me here.

p.s. Now do you see why you should've been 3-betting me at the Borg? /images/graemlins/grin.gif

My thought on the turn is this.

Sometimes he has a flush, sometimes he has an ace. If he has a flush, you're putting in money behind. If he has an ace, the 3rd flush card may prevent him from paying you off if you raise. So calling and then maybe raising the river, or better yet filling up- is a nice play.

I got over my aversion to 3-betting the next day. I played shitty most of the time that you were there.

is the PF raise normally automatic with the three kicker, I'd be more inclind to do this with a 6 or 7 kicker, just wondering why that's all

[sy_or_bust]

I wouldn't raise the turn. If SB 3-bets, you may as well be facing a good ace or A2 and cannot find a fold. If he's bluffing or has a weak pair, he's drawing to at most 2 outs and you can easily raise the river when he fires again.

As for preflop, I raise here ~always, but I raise a lot.
