No read on Villian who is pretty new to the table but he seems decent. I have a pretty LAG image myself.

Should I fold/reraise on the turn?

Bet river? Fold now after his bet?

Comments on all streets are welcome.

Fold the turn. You beat AK and KQ, but KJ, TT, JJ are all ahead. And you arent that much ahead of AK/KQ. Yuck. Could be stone dead there.

Ugly. Either fold the turn or block bet the river for like $150. This is really ugly though.

I see your point there, and it relly felt wrong afterwords when calling the fishy-raise on the turn and then give up on river.

My thought was that I take the call and see his reaction on the river.

When now a spade felt and he bets almost all-in anyway I was pretty sure I was beat (or maybe maybe tied).

Do you think I can do a blockbet even now when the /images/graemlins/spade.gif hit?

I fold the turn thinking I'm ahead about half the time. But I don't want to committ the rest of my chips in a spot that I think is 50/50 and the pot isn't even that big. Afterall, a lot of the time you're already behind; a lot of time you're splitting; and a lot of time you're ahead but there are a lot of bad cards for you (spades, A, K, Q, J, 10). Plus you're out of position. I hate it, but I fold to the turn raise especially since it seems obvious you're going to be playing for most of your money.

Ok - I guess I should fold to the turn-raise next time if same situation occur. Even if it's tempting to call because the raise is so smallish.

Hero folds

Button doesn't show the hand.

What hands will call your bet, that you beat ?

Not many after the spade, that's why I asked. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

[/ QUOTE ] KQ, AK. This is only if Villain intends to take a hand to showdown. On the other hand, these hands will probably check behind now that the flush got there, so perhaps a blocking bet isn't the best of ideas here.
